This week’s harvest: tomatoes (cherry and big), basil, leeks, onions, lots of peppers (serrano, jalepeno, sweet), kale, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, winter squash (buttercup or kuri), sugar pumpkin, garlic
We are lucky to have such a late frost (for Durango) this year. With still no frost in the forecast, it means that tomatoes, basil, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and cucumbers will be in your CSA to the end (next week is the last week)! Nonetheless, the plants have slowed down and seem to know that the end is near and are joining the trees in hues of yellow, silver and brown.
For the last few weeks, we’ve cut back the irrigation on the outdoor big tomatoes, just barely keeping them alive, causing the fruit to finally start turning red.
Lastly we’re happy once again to connect Jake Glotfelty, Durango’s own Alaskan fisherman, to our CSA members. A note from Jake, and more information is below. We can attest to the unbelievable quality of Jake’s fish, especially when paired with fresh garlic and tomatoes! Just like our carrots, once you’ve had his fish, you’ll never want to go to the grocery store again.
Look forward to seeing you again tomorrow!

From Jake:
Good news! The 2015 Bristol Bay Salmon that we caught have just arrived in Durango!
It was another great season, fast and furious.
Note that the halibut and king crab will arrive later in the season, and as soon as it arrives I will let you know. Pre-orders for the halibut and crab will guarantee you get as much as you would like. Prices are yet to be determined, and they will be very competitive based on market value. Last year they were Halibut $30/lb and Crab $25/lb — just to give you an idea.

I am willing to deliver (within reason).
Please call or email with questions, or orders. I look forward to hearing from you.
