Last Two Weeks to Order on the Farm Store this Season

With the gorgeous sun and color of October giving way to the browns & grays & impending freezing temperatures of November, we’re slowing down and accepting the dwindling daylight with less activity and more reflection. This week is the second to last chance to order from our farm store this season! Spring simultaneously feels like a whole year and just a few weeks ago. As quickly as they leafed out then, many of the trees are now already bare. We’re winding down our harvest season as we transition fully into reflection and planning mode, and we’d love to get as much of this crisp & delicious fall veg to you as we can before we wind down for the winter.

Place your order by tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 pm on the farmstore for pickup this Thursday evening! As a reminder we have 3 options still for pickup locations (Bantha Tea Bar, Hitchhiker Brewing Co. and Allegheny City Brewing). In addition to our salad and cooking greens, roots, and herbs, we’ve got storage potatoes from John Paul’s Farm, ginger and turmeric from Garden Dreams, eggs from Pittsburgh Pastures, and pork from Blackberry Meadows. Let us know if you are interested in ordering bulk quantities of potatoes. We’re savoring the bounty of harvest season and preserving some for later, as well as starting to play with some of the dye plants we grew and harvested this season. We’ll hopefully have some special hand crafted merch for you next week at market, so stay tuned for that.

Next week is our last market harvest and we’ll be at the Bloomfield Saturday Market on 11/21 to close out the season! We’d love to see you there and send all of the produce home to your kitchens for feasts of abundance and gratitude. We’ll have lots of salad and cooking greens, sweet carrots, cabbage, radishes, radicchio, fennel, herbs, garlic, maybe even some special dry beans. 

It’s an honor to give so much of my time to tending the land and growing food that so many people eat, and while I’m ready for some bigger rest, it’s also hard to transition to spending less time in the fields and more time indoors. We need the recovery and reflection time as much as the production time though, and we’ll have more insights and plans to share with you later. For now, we hope you’re getting cozy and savoring the season’s delights. See yous soon.
