Seedpod Farm Fall Servant Share CSA: Week 6: There's nothing like the beauty of frost in the morning. Such beauty brings with it an edge of disappointment. I wasn't tracking that a frost was coming on Monday. Had I been paying attention, I could have saved some of the veg with frost blankets.....or harvested a bit early....but I didn't. So- this morning was about sitting with the consequences- seeing the beauty, and moving forward. Hmmm- metaphor.
All was not lost. Many of the varieties I plant for the fall CSA are tolerant of cooler temperatures....some even improve! Hmmm- metaphor. There is beauty here, even still.

On the menu today: Bright Lights and Fordhook Chard, Celery, Kales: Toscana, White and Purple Russian, Tomatoes- Oregon Spring, Sungold, Cherokee Purple, Beefsteak, Peppers- Hungarian Wax, Shosh*to, Jalapeño, Green Bib Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, Red Sails, Herbs- Chives, Italian Parsley

Seedpod Farm Fall Servant Share Week 4: Fall has arrived in full force...as such, I see I got so busy that I forgot to post last week's Servant Share blurb. I love being in the Veg Patch on fall mornings. Crisp air begs for soups and sheet pan suppers. Speaking of which, our chickens are plumping up nicely. If you'd like to be on the list for some pasture-raised chickens and turkeys, please reach our via DM as quantities are limited.

This week I also included some lovely pictures of pumpkins grown by the farmily at their home. This family has been putting the lessons learned at Seedpod Farm to good use as part of Foundation Farms' neighborhood based Garden Club. Lady bug shoes, a unicorn dress and Cinderella pumpkins...... doesn't get much better than that!

On the menu this week: Toscana, Blue Kurly, and Purple Russian Kale, Fordhook Chard, Delicata Squash, Cherry tomatoes, Slicing tomatoes, 5 variety mesculin mix, Snow Peas, Green Bush Beans, Celery, Asian Pears (from Thorpe), Peppers: Green Bell, Poblana, Shosh*to, Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno, Herb Medley: Thai Basil, Lettuce Leaf Basil, Rosemary, Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, Peppermint, Lemon Balm. Enjoy!!

Nature's color and texture doesn't need a filter.... This week's donation share to Assured Hospice contains lingering summer beauties and changing autumn hues. Crafting bouquets with Farmer Ellie that will grace the homes of folks on their final journey, is truly one of my favorite parts of the week. These backyard bouquets are often a symphony of texture and color. Not everything is choreographed perfection. In this way, the offering becomes a metaphor. Any one of these plants is lovely on its own, but when put together, they compose something utterly unique. Friends, look around you. Find some beauty today at which to marvel. Better yet, find some beauty to share. Add your own unique beauty to the world around you. It may not be "perfect"---but it is something beautiful.

The hydrangeas are making quite a showing in our donation bouquets the last two weeks. This week they're turning a lovely lilac with crimson highlights. Farmer Ellie also picked a lovely bouquet for a friend- a beauty with beauty.

Seedpod Farm Fall Servant Share CSA: Week 1: The weather is changing and with that realization comes the desire for soup! This week we chatted about using our hearty greens in soups. They're so prolific right now and one can only eat so much kale salad :-). Another way to preserve the harvest is to dehydrate your greens. The blended powder is a great addition to soups, smoothies, baked goods etc....so many possibilities to add great vitamins to your cooking!

On the menu this week- Red cabbage, Nantes and Rainbow Carrots, Slicing Tomatoes, Sungold cherry tomatoes, Sugar Snap and Snow Peas, Green Beans, Hungarian Wax peppers, Green bell peppers, Celery, Rainbow, Bright Lights Chard, Toscana and White Russian Kale, Slicing Cucumber, Herb Bundle: Rosemary, English Thyme, Sweet Basil, Chives, Italian Parsley. Enjoy!!
