See you in the morning, folks: Lots of sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, tomatoes of all types, a few cucumbers, loads of papaya, some sweet potato, butternut squash, cooking greens, young French breakfast radishes, very mature Asian radish, beets, onions, scallions, cilantro, dill, parsley, bell peppers and all our other spicy and seasoning peppers, ginger root, turmeric, figs. And beautiful colorful zinnias. 10am – 12 noon Saturdays and 3 – 5:30pm Wednesdays, see you at the farm!

Hang onto your hats! This gustery, blustery weather has brought some almost two inches of blessed rain that has taken incessant south shore/east brushfires out of the equation for a few days. The farmers (and VIFS) will be able to relax and sleep better for a bit – under blankets, it’s freeeeezing! 

The cool and wet weather is going to give a boost to some crops but it will take a couple of weeks before some of those items (cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons) are harvested. So look for a little dip in production now, followed by another bump. 

Wednesday harvest: Sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, cherry tomatoes, big tomatoes, a few cucumbers, lots of papaya, lots of figs, onions, scallions, recao, dill, cilantro, parsley, garlic chives, ginger, turmeric, assorted peppers, a few bunches of cooking greens, radishes, zinnia flowers, and honey from Errol! And someone’s black umbrella from Saturday. 😉
