We've had a number of questions regarding our final month of shares, so I thought it would be appropriate to answer them here.
1) Our last shares are November 15th (Saturday pick-up) and November 18th (Tuesday pick-up).
2) Gleaning weekend: As of Friday November 21st, we will set up signs to direct you to fields where we still have vegetables you can pick. This will give you a chance to come to the farm and harvest anything you want for Thanksgiving. Clean us out! All vegetables are on a first-come first-served basis. We will be on the farm from 10am-2pm Saturday to help you find everthing. No RSVP is necessary, but if you are interested in coming, it will help us to know so we have a sense of how many people to expect.
3) What will be in the remaining shares?
Tuesday October 28: All shares should get a few sweet/bell peppers, some amount of tiny greens (possibly including arugula, tat soi, mizuna, tokyo bekana, red kale, red mustard and lettuce), broccoli florets, and large cooking greens (possibly including green kale, southern giant mustard, mustard-spinach, turnip greens and collards), a few heads of garlic, and some sweet potatoes for Dupont only (Farm Tuesday has already received sweet potatoes twice).
November 1(Sat) and 4(Tues): All shares should get a few heads garlic, a few small "cherriette" radishes, greens, a bit of broccoli, and carrots for Dupont and Saturday shares unless we want them to grow another week (Farm Tuesday has already received carrots).
November 8 and 11: All shares should receive garlic, greens, and any remaining radishes, turnips and carrots.
November 15 and 18: All shares should receive greens, lots of garlic for the winter, and some popcorn (either loose or on the cob).
Gleaning weekend: Any remaining garlic (including loose cloves), any remaining greens in the field (there should be as much as you can use if you're not especially picky about which kind), and whatever radishes, broccoli and popcorn that didn't get distributed.
