- We finally had our first real freeze of the fall, so it’s officially time to start clearing out the summer beds and getting them ready for winter, whether that be by cover cropping, mulching, or tapping. The cold-hardy crops are still happily growing, some in the open and some under a protective layer of row cover. Even better, the colder weather can actually improve the flavor of a lot of these crops, as dropping temperatures causes them to increase their sugar content. This is the reason that crops like spinach, kale, and carrots can be sweeter when harvested after several frosts.
Including this week, we will be delivering veggies for three more weeks, with final deliveries for the 2020 season being on Friday, November 20 or Saturday, November 21, depending on your location, so make sure to stock up on tasty organic veggies! The online store will be open this Thursday from noon until midnight. Thank you all so much for your support this year.
