We are shifting into fall mode here. Our mums have arrived and some of the cool weather crops are just getting ready to pick. Brent's lettuce has begun again. It is so tender and sweet! 

Do try the sweet potatoes. Some are a bit gnarly, but they are fresh dug and very delicious!

The next patch of tomatoes are just starting to be picked. A few more heirlooms were ready yesterday so the table is pretty full today. And it looks like we should have enough cherry tomatoes for everyone as well. But a reminder that we will have plenty of corn and tomatoes until frost.

The melons are over from our fields. We will be getting local ones—as long as they are available.

No sign of pumpkins yet but they are certainly right around the corner.

The season is really starting to change. We are waiting for the next patch of heirloom tomatoes to come in so they will be a bit slim this week. Hopefully we will get some picked for the share this week. Cukes and eggplant are a bit meager, also, but we should have some for CSA members, also. We've picked the last of our cantaloupe. What a great season it has been for those. We will be bringing some in as long as they last locally, though. And also we are at the end of our watermelons. Enjoy them while you can!

The season is just starting to change a bit. We are picking in our last cantaloupe patch, so enjoy the last of our melons. Peppers have come on very strong and so have the eggplants. In the post yesterday I mentioned that the doc martin limas are finally in strong, so we are able to add those to the CSA share this week. Blackberries are dwindling, they are only picking a case or two here and there so they are no longer part of the share. But our raspberries are still going like mad, though, and will be around until the nights get cold. No pumpkins yet, but I expect mums to make an appearance very soon.

Doc Martins have arrived!

At last, the Doc Martin Limas have come to full season. We picked over 20 crates in the last few days—we have plenty available for sale by the pound or by the case. Enjoy them while you can.

The pies have been spectacular this summer. Marie, the pie baker behind My House Cookies, has been turning out some amazing specialties this summer. All different in-season fruit varieties and a superb Key Lime.

And although they signal the impending end of summer (which for many must be a good thing this year!) the local apples and Asian pears have come in.
