Farm News of the Week
Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles writes:
I know it doesn’t feel like fall, but be patient – the cool crisp air will soon be here. The pumpkins are ripening, and with that comes pumpkin rolls and many other delicious pumpkin items. I have seen a few leaves trying to change their colors to display their beautiful hues of red and orange, painting a wondrous scene, making me crave the mouth-watering taste of my grandma’s “Stay Soft Sugar Cookies” decorated up in Buttercream icing and wonderful sugars in the fall colors. My little licensed kitchen has started getting ready for all the treats of fall baked up fresh just for you.

Bibb lettuce heads are back, Michael at Frontier Family Farms finally has the head lettuces back after some issues in the system. They are better than before!! I have also seen pics of the sugar snap peas in the greenhouse and they look like it will be about 2 weeks… can’t wait!
Micro greens are back too: Spicy cabbage and kale.
