Hi all,

It's a beautiful, if chilly and frosty, morning here. I was afraid it was going to be raining so I'm happy to see it clear. We need the rain but since we still have some of the dried corn to get in, it's nice that it has held off a day or two. The crew has been busily cleaning up the Popcorn and Grain Corn the past few days to get it in before the wet weather begins. Yum Yum

Guess what? We have Tomatoes! I was shocked yesterday when I got to the Farm Stand and Pablo and crew walked in with four boxes of Red (and some Orange) Tomatoes! They're not pretty, but they taste great. This is it for the Tomatoes for sure. Come on in this weekend if you want a few more tastes before winter. I am planning on Tomato Soup with Marrowfat Beans for dinner tonight!

Marrowfats? Yes, we have some and also the Black Coco and Cranberry Beans. These fresh shelling beans are special in that they cook up quickly and are rich and creamy. The window to enjoy them is short. They will be replaced by the Dried Beans which we can enjoy all winter long.

On to the list: Tomatoes, Cabbage, Kale(s), Chard, Carrots, Beets, Fennel, Celeriac, Celery, Onions, Garlic, Shallots, Broccoli, a bit of Purple Cauliflower, Fresh Chiles of many varieties, Fresh Sweet Peppers such as Pimientos, Bells and lots more, Sweet Lettuce, Chicories such as Pan di Zucchero, Escarole and more, Summer Squash, Winter Squash (Pie Pumpkin, Red Kuri, Butternut, Delicata, etc), a few Eggplant, Potatoes, Leeks, more that I am forgetting.

Smoked Onions, new Season's Heirloom Dried Beans, Chipotle and other Chile Powders, Dried Chiles, Pickles, Sauerkraut, Chile Jams, Hot Sauces, Hopi Blue and Oaxacan Green Corn Meals and whatever surprises await all of us at the good ol' Farm Stand in the White Barn!

OPEN Tuesday - Friday 11 - 6 and Saturday 10 - 4! Come take a walk in the field, hang out in the White Barn and get some vegetables while you're at it!

Thanks to you all!

Evie
