You've probably noticed the trees starting to turn and the weather getting cooler. If you're at the farm, you'll notice that the produce is changing too. Butternut Squash and Sweet Potatoes and the like are all coming into season. Here's what I saw at the farm stand today:
- Peppers -- Cayenne, Jalapeno, Red Bell, and Yellow Bell, and seconds
- Tomatoes -- Goldie Boy, Mtn Fresh, and still plenty of seconds
- Beets
- Chinese Eggplant
- Salads -- Arugula, Asian Salad Mix
- Green Beans
- Leeks, Garlic
- Greens -- Summer Spinach, Red Russian Kale
- Potatoes -- Carola, Red, Sweet, and some seconds
- Watermelon (maybe the end?)
- Squash -- Butternut and Spaghetti
When I'm there looking at all the food, it always looks so alive to me. These pictures don't do justice, but here they are:

Sweet Potatoes
This is the first week for sweet potatoes. Here is Laura showing me the latest batch:
You may remember that I posted a photo of the sweet potato plants back on Aug 7th. Here is what they looked like then and then now:
 |
| Aug 7th -- full of promise! |

| Sep 25 -- an empty field! |
Those beautiful plants produced an equally beautiful harvest of potatoes. The field looks pretty empty now though. It will get a little break before being put to work for us again.
Vendor Items
Chicken is back! There were plenty of packages of legs, breasts, and wings.
Fresh
mushrooms were filling one of the fridges -- oyster & shiitake.
There was a nice supply of various
goat milk cheeses and
fudge (in which I indulged). And while I was there, Delaney brought the
milk,
yogurt,
cheese,
pickle, and
sauerkraut delivery.
You're sure to find something you'll enjoy.
Laura & Ruby
I got this photo of Laura showing how much she likes the goat milk fudge. Ruby was pretty happy as well, even though she is too young to experience the pleasure of chocolatey fudgey goodness. Ah, the innocence of babes.
