Farm News & Tom's ReflectionsA "SLICE" of Magic and Inspiration
The setting in the middle of our apple orchard for the Discovery Program's 5th Annual Fundraiser was graced by amazing weather, and all the hard work for this challenging event culminated with an outpouring of community support by an amazing crew of volunteers, chefs, winemakers, staff, friends, sponsors, and the approximately 100 guests in attendance. My heartfelt thanks to all who participated, contributed and inspired to make this our most successful fundraiser event yet.
The Fall Equinox is this Sunday, the length of night and day are equal, commencing the return of shorter days. I invite you this week - either when you pick up your share or prepare a meal - to just stop for a moment and reflect on how much of what we do on this farm and in our lives is directly linked to the very cyclical rhythms of our planet, which turns once a day on its tilted axis, wheeling around the sun once a year, circled by its own large moon.

Fall crops are planted, the Winter squash, both Delicata and Sweet Dumplings, have been harvested with only the Kabocha and Butternut varieties still curing in the field for a few more weeks.
We have a nice crop of Cauliflower ready for harvest next week, the leeks are still abundant, beets with beautiful tops will be back in a week or so. The next block of carrots are a couple of weeks away, they are long enough but still too thin to snack on. The Gala harvest is coming to an end next week - we have enough stored in the cooler now to offer them until December or January. We are moving on to the next apple variety, the Newtown Pippins, and then into the final stretch of our apple harvest with Fuji's in October. Plan to take a Saturday in October to join us on the farm to enjoy your own Apple U-harvest in the Fuji orchard. Maybe you can make it coincide with our Annual Fall Harvest Celebration on October 26th.
