Hello fellow farm share members!
| It’s almost the end of the season, and we’ll soon be missing all these lovely just-picked greens. This week’s distribution was a bounty of greens, with some hearty sweet potatoes, squash, cabbage, and other goodies to boot. Wonderful stick-to-your bones food as the fall weather slowly creeps in.
This week’s cornucopia: baby bok choy, cabbage, sweet potatoes, Japanese turnips, spinach, carnival wintersquash, green peppers, a head of lettuce, and mustard greens.

| In a spooky prelude to Halloween, this week’s veggie photo is a little grainy and shadowy. Maybe you can draw a costume inspiration from one of this week’s colorful vegetables! This week we had butternut squash, carrots, onions, beets, broccoli, peppers, joi choy, tatsoi, mizuna, and mixed greens. Butternut monster with mizuna hair, anyone? In other notes, Josh and I think there should be music playing at the Wednesday distributions. Please send your suggestions to Josh.

From the NBC website:
More whole foods, not whole paychecks
Oct. 8: In hard economic times, one woman wanted to make it easier for people to access fresh organic food regardless of their income. She started the Flatbush Farmshare, a CSA group that allows members to pay for vegetables based on their income, and even supplement the cost by using food stamps or volunteer hours. NBC’s Kumasi Aaron reports.
Hello all…
So many vegetables this week: carnival winter squash, russet potatoes, napa cabbage, leeks, celery root, japanese turnips, green pepper, lettuce, rapini, and basil. The fruit share offered Gala (I think) apples. Thanks to the volunteers who set up in record time!
There are only a few more weeks left in the season so in order to make it last a little longer, I’ve been trying to freeze as much as I can to use in the colder months. I think it’ll be nice to remember summer in a winter soup!
Our last night of distribution is on the 28th. Please plan to hang out a little and enjoy some good food and company. Bring something to share if you can!
Enjoy your vegetables…

| Hi all,
No photo this week, due to technical difficulties — sorry about that! But stay tuned for the Church Ave. BID Calendar, which will feature much more beautiful photos of our CSA distribution than my little snapshot. They were there photographing this week, taking pictures of veggies and members and adorable kids.
This week’s bounty included carrots, turnips, easter egg radishes, eggplant, brussel sprouts, swiss chard, peppers, tomatoes, arugula, and a salad mix. Plus we had an bonus vegetable: cauliflower! Lots of good stuff. Hope you’re enjoying it….
Peas and carrots,
Leigh Anne
