Jan. 8 Market update


This post expired on January 07, 2024.

Hi Folks,

I just wanted to update you about our availability for Wednesday’s pick ups. Like most of you, we had -6 degrees last night, and although that won’t be a problem for some of our produce in the long run, it does mean that we won’t be able to harvest for tomorrow.

The fabric on our low tunnels is too brittle to try and move, and the ground is frozen too deep to get the root crops out without damage. Even the kale leaves would shatter if we tried to pick it.

The good news is that when things thaw out we will be back in business and the hardy crops we have will bounce right back. The only permanent loss we will have is the lettuce. It holds up to about 5 degrees, but the -6 last night was just too much for it.

Blessings,
Bob
