Autumn’s temperatures bring with them a host of cool-weather crops we look forward to all summer long: kabocha squash, broccoli, Red Russian kale, Honeycrisp apples…

(Speaking of apples, this mama-to-be is seriously craving some pie.)

You might not think of lettuce as a fall crop, but here in Virginia, it is way too hot to grow the stuff during the summer.  So it’s always such a delight when the temperatures turn and we can grow our lettuce mix again.  It’s sweet, tender, and gorgeous as all get-out — and it’s in your CSA shares this week.  Enjoy!
