This week’s harvest: pumpkins, winter squash, small decorative gourds, tomatoes!, carrots, onions, leeks, garlic, kale

It’s finally here! The last week of the 2015 Adobe House Farm CSA. We hope you’ve enjoyed consuming our produce as much as we’ve enjoyed growing it for you. While the CSA shares have greatly benefitted from Durango’s extending run of nice weather, alas, all good things must come to an end. Today marked the day of what has come to be our yearly ‘hail event’. Thankfully most of the harvest had been completed and our losses were limited to sweet baby arugula (sorry, we tried to get you one more greens harvest), our uncovered Roma tomato beds (some are under low tunnels), peppers and some poked marked sugar pumpkins. At least Mother Nature held off until our final week.

Assuming the apples we plan to harvest next week look good, we’ll offer an extra pickup along with a few other goodies we glean from the farm over the next week. So please stay tuned and look for an email from us next week regarding an extra pick up.

We’d also like to thank every one of our members for supporting Adobe House Farm. You make it possible for us to farm here in Durango. Your support, smiles and “thank you’s” throughout the season mean more to us then you can know. We’ll keep you posted regarding our farm plans for next year and when we have winter greens for sale and we look forward to seeing you around town this winter. In the meantime, keep supporting businesses that source locally as it really is the best way to grow and maintain a viable and self-sustaining local food system.

Look forward to seeing you again tomorrow!

Linley, Peter, Reid, Charlie, Tim
