Garlic Fest - Saturday
Saturday from 1-5 pm we’ll be at the first Garlic Festival @ the Hoboken Historical Museum. We’ll have many different varieties of garlic for tasting as well as dips, pesto, salsa, garlic honey, garlic vinegar, pickled garlic and more….. We’ll have on display over 100 different varieties of garlic as well as some educational displays. Seasonal produce will also be available for sale. Stop by and we hope to have stinkin’ day.
Weather Report: Again no rain and Farmer Rich continues to irrigate due to the planting of late season crops. It is very unusual to have to irrigate in October, but necessary as there are another few weeks left to deliver.
From the Fields: With three more deliveries to go the harvest will be on getting everything that is deliverable off of the fields. We will be getting fields ready for garlic planting soon and will be scheduling a work-day at the farm probably either on the 20/21st or 27/28th. We’ll keep you posted & hope to have many of you come to the farm to help.
Since we have been watering we do have nice greens but fell behind harvesting this week due to our 2-day event at Olde Lafayette Village and not able to harvest on Sunday. We’ll make it up next week!!
We still have potatoes in the field yet to be dug and if we don’t get them out in the next few weeks our first newsletter next year will read “potatoes are already planted.” We have a nice delivery of tomatoes tonight, but may have to skip delivering them next wee as they are slowing down.
Animal Report: We were counting on another delivery of cabbage, but the gourmet groundhog had decided to devour it. Farmer Rich was finally able to find where the “gourmet” groundhog was coming in & fixed the problem. Probably a little to late, but with 3 weeks to go we hpe it won’t find a new way to break into the fence.
Fruit Report – Luwcious variety of Pears–Freshly picked from Windy Brow Farm. Windy Brow does have apple picking at their farm this time of year. Their phone # is 973.579.9157 so you can call for directions & dates & times they are open. It is a nice day out in the country!
