Harvesting pie pumpkins and butternut squash to kick off the fall season on the farm. Did you know you can use butternut as a substitute for pumpkin in pies and soups? It’s go time!

My son loves these sweet jalapeño slices so I canned a batch. Start with firm jalapeño peppers and slice, discarding the stem. No deseeding or coring necessary! A bunch of the seeds end up in the sweet brine and I strained those out before pouring the hot syrup into the jars.

When things go as planned, Carrots grow a long tap root. But even still, nature has a sense of humor and throws in a few nuances just for fun. While sorting the harvest we entertained ourselves with some of the quirky carrots. The fun ones.

Farm crew love (missing a few here, next time!)— we so appreciate the farm crew, their energy and good spirit and awe for the production of food from the land. Good times!

Potato digging is like treasure hunting in the cool loose soil, when they are pulled up by the potato plow first. Thank you to all who participated! Let Idaho grow what grows best in Idaho, Kennebec potatoes are a delicious thin-skinned golden heirloom potato particularly suitable for Maryland. Our CSA will be eating these for the next few months. No peeling required!

Planting happens throughout the season to keep the harvest flowing. We plant three sets of zucchini and cucumbers for a long harvest. Bok choy, lettuce, arugula are planted routinely in small batches. Kale lasts til august and then we plant again in early fall. August is a hard time to plant, when it’s dry and bugs are peak. 📸 Ray and maybe Sam too
