Dear CSA Members,
This week, I became keenly aware of the change from summer to fall as I grabbed a long-sleeved shirt for our early morning starts. I feel a deep sense of gratitude to you who have supported our work with the land this season. Because of the hard work of our dedicated team of farmers, our fields are the most productive they have ever been.
I start and end each week with a field walk to make updates to the crop plan, scout for pests and diseases, and create our weekly harvest list. The bounty has finally arrived! This week alone, we harvested over 4,000 pounds of food, including some of your spring favorites like salad mix and spinach, along with a staggering amount of pumpkins and heritage winter squash like Georgia Candy Roaster. If you ever wonder why "harvest dinners" are a fall celebration, even though we are harvesting all season, it's because of this September confluence of summer and autumn bounty.
