CSA Report:  Blooming Glen Farm

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

I can’t believe it’s the third week of October and we’re still picking up such a beautiful share from Blooming Glen Farm.  There are four kinds of greens (lettuce, kale, collards, arugula), two types of radishes (French breakfast and watermelon), red and yellow onions—and we’re still harvesting pick-your-own herbs!  As a testament to the bounty, family dinner (for ten) at my house this Sunday was made almost entirely of the farm’s produce:  Root Vegetable and Barley Soup (with celeriac, turnips, carrots, potatoes, onion and garlic), and Curry Butternut Squash Soup.  We served ten people and still had leftovers for lunch.  With this much variety still coming in, it’s hard to believe that in just a couple weeks, our visits to the farm will be over for the season.
