Lest y’all thought we’d become an animal farm and given up on vegetables entirely — here’s proof that ain’t so!  We’ve been quite busy preparing the ground and getting all those good fall veggies into the soil.  Here’s Claire planting some lettuce.  This will be one of the first things to show up again on the market tables and in CSA shares as the weather cools even more.  Lettuce loves cool weather, and we love fall lettuce even more than the spring stuff: it’s sweet and tender without a hint of bitterness.

Also in the ground now, or germinating in the greenhouse: scallions, cooking greens like collards and kale, broccoli, cabbage, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, lots of winter squash…

What?  These are some of your favorite vegetables?  Then join our Winter CSA!  There’s still a little space left in this 7-week mini-season that runs from early November to late December.  We’ve got four pick-up sites in Richmond, one in Lynchburg, and one at the farm, all on Wednesdays.  Lots more info here — or go directly to the printable registration form.
