Week 9 CSA order link (11 left after this week)
Hello,
Week 9. We have officially hit mid-summer (August 1st this year), tomato season is in full swing, and the August exhaustion is setting in. This time of year is busy busy for us, and the food is ohh so yummy. I’m going to spend most of my time in the fields today, so I will keep this week’s update short and sweet.
A Few Things:
- IN SUMMARY: The August busy’s have arrived and it wares us out, but the food is so worth it.
- MARK YOUR CALENDER: No CSA delivery/pick-up on August 29th and 30th.
- CROP HIGHLIGHT: Eggplant and peppers! We are starting to see the beginnings of these. I took our first ones to farmers market this week just to thin the plants a little. You can expect to see a few eggplant on the store this week (who new baba ganoush was so easy and delicious?) Peppers are starting to show up and you will see the first of the hots on the store this week. I am just starting to see the sweet red carmin’s start to turn color so they are coming soon.
- TOMATO CANNING BOXES: We offer a few canning boxes each week on the store. These are very ripe and or slightly flawed and are great for your canning projects, but plan to use them asap after you get them. Remember, you can also plan to come out to the farm the week of August 29th and 30th and get canning boxes that week too (we usually have a lot of them since we are not going to market or doing CSA that week).

HACKS AND ORDERING TRICKS:
- If the product selection is not display in organized groups, you are likely in the “Previously Ordered” section. Scroll down to all products and it will be easier to navigate. You can always X out these items each week to keep this section manageable.
- If products have a locked sign on them, you likely need to change your pick-up location. Click on the lock to see where this item is available.
- If you cannot see products, contact the farm.
- As a member with credits, when you place your order, FarmMatch will tell you it is going to charge your credit card, because that is what it is programmed to do, as most farms are not issuing credits at the beginning of the season like we are. They are just selling outright to their customers. The program will apply your credits first, making your total due $0. So, your card will get charged $0 each week, up until you have used up all your credits.
