Greetings,
Tuesday January 24th, 2012, is your 4th winter CSA delivery.
We have another great distribution of greenhouse, field and stored vegetables for members tomorrow. I can go on about the weather and how we've never harvested bunched carrots at this time of year before, ever, but I feel like it's beginning to make me sound like a broken record. While everything from the field and greenhouse has been 'touched' by the frost, the quality and flavor on them has remained very good.
You may even notice the sweetness of the fresh bunched carrots as compared to that of the stored ones, (with out leaves). It is partly the variety and stage of growth of the carrots at harvest, but mainly, we have the weather to thank for that once again.
Be well,
Fred & Karen
PS. I suppose some of the younger CSA members might not even know what a broken record sounds like, but am hoping they still might know what the expression means.
