This week we are harvesting:
a few Red Tomatoes
more Heirloom Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Peppers
Eggplant
Okra
Summer Squash
Garlic
The Wednesday group will be receiving chard and the Saturday group will receive chard next week due to the lack of rain.
And in the pick your own you can still find plenty of fresh herbs, hot peppers and flowers to cut.

Next week we will have ripened Bartlett Pears for the CSA. These pears were offered to us by our neighbors Paul and Mary Majewski who live in Clarksburg. The growers and I were at their home harvesting these pears on Monday- we will allow them to ripen in the barn before offering them to the CSA. It is possible that the Saturday group will receive pears this week- we will have to wait and see. This was a great activity for the growers and for Paul who has never seen his two pear trees picked so quickly! By the way- the pears have not been sprayed at all – which is self evident due to some of the scaring etc. We are delighted to offer these pears to you!

As an additional update on the annual dinner for those of you who may want to think ahead about spending your vacation dollars in a way that will benefit Red Wiggler…
