Store potatoes in a cool dry place out of the fridge. Remove tops from carrots and radishes for storage. Napa Cabbage is a great addition to stir-fry. Spinach and cheese omelettes with home fries as brunch or breakfast for dinner?

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Two aged cheeses. Lyra made this spring and Aquilla, our jack style cheese, made last year. We call the Aquilla our “potato chip cheese” because it’s one that’s tough to stop eating once you’ve started! The Lyra makes a nice creamy cheese sauce and the Aquilla is nice to top roasted broccoli or potatoes or in broccoli cheese soup.

can’t get over how pretty the radishes are

broccoli coming your way!

abundant broccoli!

Hoophouse upgrades. Getting back to this project to get it finished up soon! It will help us extend our tomato season and have more favorites in our early season and late season boxes.

Don’t worry, there are not going anywhere near your CSA boxes! Bridal veal stinkhorns found near our woodpile. Josh smelled them from atop the running tractor and went to search for what was stinking so much… Found these. They truly earn their name. The Earth is amazing!

What’s in the box?

fennel
tomatoes
melon
carrots
beets
cabbage
radishes
bell peppers
sweet peppers
arugula
onions
cilantro

Notes on the box.

Tomatoes have taken a downhill turn. Late blight was found, so we have to harvest the unaffected fruit and pull out the plants. We might get a few more in the box next week, but this might be the last of them! There will continue to be more peppers.
Otherwise things are going to start looking a lot more like fall! Spinach, broccoli, more radishes, carrots, and beets…. and more fall treats!

Feta! Remember if you’d like to store it for longer, you can make a brine with a pint of water and 2 tsp of salt to store it in. Roasted beet and arugula salad with feta!
Herdsman in a young cheese just a month old that has been pasteurized. I thought I’d try an aged cheese that could go out soon after it’s made. I think it’s pretty nice. It’s lemony and I like to open texture. The rind is nice to eat, too!

We’ve been trying to get the season extension set up online and we think we have it! You can use this link to sign-up. If there’s any problems, please let us know. We are obviously farmers first and our ability to navigate the computer programs needs some cultivating!
It’s been getting pretty dang chilly out here in the evenings. We’ve dipped below 50 a few times now. The greens are sweeting up and and we have been getting excited about roasting and soup. We’ve also been squeezing in the last bits of summer with a long bike ride and eating dinner outside. Kids are back in school and we are happy to have red peppers and carrots to pack in their lunches (and cheese curds, too!)

living it up!

true beauties!

Cod had twins! Much later than we had expected…

the babies and mama are brought into the barn away from the herd to make sure the babies get colostrum and mama gets a good drink of water and stays healthy.

cabbage harvest!

Winter Squash! Season extension beauties! (there will be some in the main season CSA also)

What’s in the box?

tomatoes
sweet corn
broccoli
green beans
carrots
melon - cantaloupe or watermelon
onions
garlic
peppers
salad mix
cucumbers
parsley

Notes on the box.

This is the last of the sweet corn for the season. This is the last of the cucumbers for the sesason. Late blight has arrived giving the remaining tomatoes just a couple more weeks…. dare I say what everyone already knows? I guess since school has started it’s safe to say it… summer is bout done. The good news is that fall broccoli is here! And there are soups and roasting and other cozy things to look forward to! Sigh.

Cheese curds! and Arcturus, which is an english style of cheese. If I made the cheese curds without pasteurizing the milk and then pressed them, you would end up with Arcturus. Enjoy it with some apples or honey or cured meats.

Recipes.

Roasted Tomato Sauce
a good way to use up tomatoes and you can also freeze and store it!
core and quarter tomatoes. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Add peeled cloves of garlic. drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and your favorite italian or another favorite seasoning (optional). Roast for an hour at 375. Allow to cool a bit and blend. You can add broth and cream to make tomato soup at this point, too!

Sweet Corn and Green Beans with Herb Butter

Majarete - Dominican Corn Pudding excited to try this one here!
