In this hands-on children’s cooking class, we will focus on a classic fall flavor profile – pumpkin. Children will learn how to make pumpkin whoopie pies, which they will eat on site and be able to replicate at home. And, we’ll make mini loaves of pumpkin bread to take home and share with the family. This class is geared toward children ages 7-10, or younger if accompanied by an adult, and fills quickly -- so register soon!</span></div>

The trembling leaves mark the end of another beautiful
season on the farm. This moment has been seven months in the making, and the
time has absolutely flown by. It feels like just yesterday that we were
scrambling to set up the greenhouse in the middle of a cold, wet February
snowstorm. Today I visited last winter’s piglets that we welcomed in the middle
of the night during a blizzard and without power. They were upwards of three
hundred pounds and ready to become mothers of their own piglets for next
season. Back then, our laying hens weren’t yet a twinkle in their mother’s eye,
and our successful barnyard experience was still a storage area for accumulated
farm equipment. This season our animals, crops, property, and personal
experiences grew with your help, and we hope that you were able to enjoy the
changes taking place during the course of the year.</div>

I speak for everyone on our crew when I say how grateful we
are that you were part of our experience this year. The CSA allows us to learn
and practice an important trade that is so often forgotten by those who think
food comes shrink-wrapped from a factory. Not only are you contributing to
little old Powisset Farm, but also to a culture that broadcasts the importance
of local agriculture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As the fields of cash crops shift into acres of cover crop
that will preserve the soil and prepare nutrients for next season, we too will
morph into winter roles. Equipment and infrastructure will be updated, our
muscles will get a rest, and we will renew our excitement for farming by
dreaming up new ways to improve the property and the veggies it produces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re not ready for the season to end, please consider

before the darkness sets in, and you’ll be able to see your favorite farmers a
few more times! Shares are $150 for three bulk pickups that will take place from
10am-noon on November 17, December 1, and December 15.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think it was the busiest week on the farm in a couple
months. After weeks of keeping our eyes on weather reports, the time has finally
come to prepare for frost. Temperatures in the fields are often lower than
local weather forecasts predict, so we covered most of our leafy greens before
the weekend when the Dover forecast expected 39 degrees. We didn’t end up
getting a frost, but the reemay will help the plants to grow anyway and protect
everything when the thermometer is expected to drop near freezing this week.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We also prepared for our annual HarvestFest that took place
on Sunday. It was a great celebration of another excellent season at Powisset.
Our events team put together an awesome array of activities and vendors for the
whole family to enjoy. We were also able to debut a few crops that have just
started to “come on,” or get mature enough to be eaten. Different varieties of
radish and turnip were available in the farm stand, along with pumpkins,
squashes, and caramel apples. It was fun being able to show off our property to
hundreds of newcomers. </span></div>

they are delicious fresh, roasted, dipped in hummus or shredded into salad, but
if you want to taste them in their glory, try out this creamy vegan carrot
soup. The cashew cream adds protein and a velvety texture. This soup is
seriously soul-warming with just the right amount of heat!</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Things looked a bit different on the farm this week. We were
able to harvest a large quantity of onions and carrots for storage during the
Sukkot festival, so much of our time was spent cleaning and processing these
crops rather than pulling them from the ground. I was also given the
opportunity to take the Mobile Market into Boston. This is something that I
have been hoping to do all season long. It is great being able to talk with CSA
members in Dover, but our produce also reaches into the city where we are able
to bring fresh, clean, local vegetables to food deserts at affordable prices.
Many of these customers don’t have access to a vehicle or grocery store that
can provide products like this. Being in the city, we also see a much more
diverse taste in food. It was great to hear how appreciative they were to find some
vegetables that are difficult to find in this part of the country. Green tomatoes,
okra, and callaloo were among the favorites. These customers also gave us a new
perspective on how these plants can be harvested, and how much of them we
should think about growing next year. Much of the benefit in joining a CSA is
trying new or unusual foods. This experience truly gave me an opportunity to
look at our work in a different light.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would like to thank the other farmers for picking up the
slack this weekend as I took a couple days off. With this time, I was able to
work on some canning. I cooked some of the last remaining Powisset raspberries
into jam as we start thinking about saying goodbye to fresh fruits and veggies
for a few months. I would like to encourage you to do the same with some of the
produce that you receive in the last distributions. The food will taste even
better once it hasn’t been available for months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">I bought a
pretty little pumpkin from the farm stand a couple weeks ago. It was nice
seeing it in the center of the kitchen island, just as pretty as a small
bouquet of flowers this time of year really. Then I came across a few recipes
for pumpkin hummus and finally made the sacrifice! But definitely worth it. And
to top it off, pumpkin is a super source of vitamins A, C, E, as well as B
complex vitamins and minerals like copper, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
Don't forget to reserve and dry the seeds for roasting - the seeds are high in
protein, fiber and tryptophan!</span><span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />

<br />
Just a quick blurb to let you know that we are hosting a CSA member potluck on Wednesday, October 10th at 6:00pm! It will be a great opportunity to enjoy an evening and meet other members of the Powisset community. We (the farmers) are excited to share this season's experiences and chat about all things farming and life.<br />
<br />
With only a few more weeks to go, it would be a great way to end the season and celebrate the bounty that nature has provided for us this year. Please bring a dish to share, drinks, cups, plates, and utensils.<br />
<br />
If you could sign up in the farm stand, it would be great to get an idea of how many people will be coming. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at jhoodlet@gmail.com or our manager, Andrew Kelly at akelly@thetrustees.org.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there!<br />
<br />

With October upon us, we are definitely in Fall mode at the
farm. This development has been weeks in the making, but it is official with
the vibrant red leaves consuming the oaks along Powissett Street. Even when we
are able to get some extra sleep and head into the fields at 8am, sweatshirts
are a must until the sun burns off the mist and thaws out our sore shoulders.
Growth tends to slow during this time of year, especially with the weeds. We
try to plant crops that continue to produce in cooler temperatures during this
time of year, but the pigweed and grass definitely prefer the kind of heat that
we experienced throughout the summer. This slower growth gives us a little
extra time to cultivate our beds, which we have needed because we can’t get the
tractors into the fields when it is as wet as it has been.<o:p></o:p></div>

The cultivating tractor only has two-wheel drive and would
likely get stuck in the mud if we attempted to bring it out anyway, but for
other reasons, we try to limit vehicle use in the fields until the soil has
dried out. Soil tends to be healthiest when it is disturbed as little as
possible. Driving tractors or trucks on top of soil creates compaction, which
makes it difficult for roots to penetrate and lowers the numbers of
microorganisms that encourage healthy nutrient levels. This compaction occurs
most when the soil contains moisture. Over the past few weeks, it has been so
wet that there is often standing water in certain spots in the fields. <o:p></o:p></div>

As expected, the distribution list will begin to slowly
shift into crops that were seen earlier in the year. We are still clinging onto
some summer crops (tomatoes and peppers), but we are welcoming in seasonal
varieties like turnips and carrots.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #18376a; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Something
tells me fall is here and I am seeing lots of roots in our future! I love using
vegetables in novel ways and thinking out of the box! The pesto recipe below is
a favorite of mine and features beets instead of basil or other greens.
The sauce is the most gorgeous magenta color when finished. Kids will love the
way it colors their spaghetti pink! The toasted walnuts add a nice dose of
omega-3 fatty acids, which can help boost your mood, especially as the days get
shorter and our lives get busier this time of year! I'd call this comfort food
at its finest. Make extra; keeps well in the freezer.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fall has arrived on the farm. Not just on the calendar, but
on the thermometer as well. Today was grey and left us stopping at our cars for
more layers for the first time since May. Harvesting turnips forced us to
brainstorm how we used to keep our hands warm before the three-month long heat
wave turned our brains to mush. Instead of figuring out which crops needed watering,
we focused on which crops needed to be covered first to keep them warm. Before
long, it will be time to keep an eye on the weather for frost and to cover
everything with remay.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sticking with the theme of fall, I thought it would be fun
to address some fall misconceptions about farming. We often face questions
about “harvest season” and “the harvest,” but as CSA members, you know that harvests
occur over many months instead of one big event at the end of the season. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is true however, that harvests change
towards the end of the season. Spring began with spinach and other greens and
root vegetables, and this is how it will end. Spinach is a cold-hardy crop that
does well in chillier temperatures, as do root vegetables like radishes,
turnips, beets, and carrots. Throughout the summer, heat forces leafy crops
like spinach and lettuce to “bolt,” or shoot skyward in preparation for going
to seed. This causes the crop to become bitter and undesirable. On the same
note, cooking greens like kale and chard tend to do well in cooler temperatures.
They are back in force, and will hopefully be in the share for weeks to come.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The last of the fall harvest tends to bring the beets, kohlrabi,
turnips, and most importantly, carrots. These are our bulk storage crops, and
can be kept in proper root cellar conditions for weeks. We spent many hours
weeding our beets and hope that they will produce a quality yield before long.
Our turnips have been quietly getting bigger for over a month, and should lead
to happy members looking for fall flavor in their kitchens. Carrots, one of the
most difficult crops to grow, have done well on the farm this year and will
hopefully keep the trend alive until the last distribution. Having to stay in
the ground so long, weeds are the biggest problem for carrots. We weeded them
recently, and we hope that they will swell in size until the frost sweetens
them up!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lastly, we should quickly address what we will call “squashgate.”
It is true, squashes (including pumpkins) can be harvested late into the fall.
However, many squashes, including our own, are harvested in the heat of summer and
left to cure for weeks on end. While some squashes cure on the vine, others are
less than ideal to prepare until their color changes. When strolling around
your local market or hay ride this fall, please enjoy this little bit of
insider farm information.<o:p></o:p></div>

Enough with the boring crop info, here is another guest post

for salsa! Fall flavors can be great, but variety is the key to life, and this
tasty and nutritious salsa will brighten up any grey autumn day!<o:p></o:p></div>

really easy to come up with a great salsa when you have a great, fresh produce

yellow and red tomatoes, one finally chopped jalapeño, one small chopped onion.
Add 1 clove of crushed garlic. Drizzle with olive oil & the juice of half a
lime. Add some fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Delicious
over black beans and rice, or an awesome accompaniment for taco night! If you
like your salsa on the sweeter side, try adding in small cubes of fresh mango.</i></span></span></div>

Hi all, I hope that you have had a great week. We have just
a couple reminders to attend to before the weekly updates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Firstly, please don’t forget to take our <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CXM8DLM" target="_blank">CSA survey</a>. Your
feedback is invaluable, and we want to make our farm as awesome as possible for
you!</li>
<li>Also, please note that the <b>barnyard hours will be changing beginning
this week</b>. Instead of being open on Wednesdays, the barnyard will now be open
on Thursdays from 11:30-1:30.</li>
<li>We are holding a <b>raffle</b> for two handmade mahogany Powisset Adirondack
chairs. Check out the beautiful pieces at the property! Tickets are $50 each, and
only 100 tickets will be sold.</li>
<li>Lastly, <b>please be sure to take the proper amount of fruits
and veggies in your share</b>. We understand that sometimes it is tempting to grab
a little extra of something, but please fight the urge. We spend the season
preparing crops with a certain number of shareholders in mind, but lately we
have been running out of some things that we should
have had enough of. We just want to make sure that there are enough veggies for
everyone to pick up their fair share!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you!!</div>

It was great to bring lettuce back into the share last week.
Summer (especially one with so much heat) is not conducive to producing quality
lettuce. A combination of factors cause it to grow poorly and become bitter.
Fall lettuce however, is quite tasty and looks beautiful so far. We will keep
crossing our fingers that conditions cooperate. Our second plantings of kale
and chard have been excellent as well. The plants are extremely healthy so far,
and the leaves are quite tender and flavorful. Perhaps the biggest unsung hero
of the distribution was the celery. This often-bland vegetable is quite
difficult to grow into big and flavorful plants, but Andrew’s methods brought
us excellent specimens this season. Even the celery greens make a great addition
to a dish.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Without further ado, I would like to thank one of our
members, Shira Brown for a guest post this week! We are so appreciative of her
family’s continued support of the Powisset community. I look forward to trying
her recipe for an Awesome Autumn Salad this week!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span style="background-color: white;">Hello fellow CSA families!</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">It's been
another amazing season... the 6th for my family I think, but truthfully I have
lost count, as the farm seems to be THE place for being present and losing
track!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">I realize
we may be long overdue in showing the love to our hard-working farmers and
should start talking about how we’re all making good use of the incredibly
fresh, abundant, organic produce that shows up in our kitchens all season as a
result of their work and dedication.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">As a
pediatrician and mom of three who loves to cook, a kitchen filled with the
colors of Powissett is not something I take for granted. It has provided
immense joy and has helped us teach our children how important nutrition is--
and picking in the fields with children certainly leaves a lasting impression.
Years ago during our first season, my daughter's preschool teacher called me
unexpectedly and said "there is nothing wrong, but I am calling because we
are wondering why Noa is eating leaves from our classroom plants..." I was
secretly very proud.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">Being at
the farm can also be a major mood booster for a cranky child (or anyone for
that matter)! Below is a photo of our youngest from this past week. After
a long, rainy day at school, the sky opened up beautifully over the fields and
she was in her happy place for sure.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">Health,
well-being and pure enjoyment is right at our fingertips. We should all embrace
that, along with the dedicated team of farmers that brings this blessing to us
week after week.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">That
being said, let's talk food!...</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">Delicata squash. If you've slowly been accumulating a team of these cute
little guys over the past few weeks, waiting for ideas, check out these fun
nutrition facts and awesome autumn salad recipe below for inspiration.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">Delicata
squash:</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">- the
skin is edible! Delicata is high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which aid
in digestion. When cooked properly, the skin is tender and delicious.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">- a great
source of Vitamin A, which supports vision.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">- a great
source of Vitamin C. (fight the fall head cold going around!)</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">- Rich in
carotenoids and antioxidant compounds. Research into the cancer-prevention
benefits of antioxidants is incredibly promising.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">We hosted

approaches. We had one of our busiest days of the season in the farm stand on
Saturday. Over one hundred CSA members picked up their shares and new visitors
went in and out of the barn while visiting the Notch Brewing biergarten. Our
season is over halfway complete, but we still have some of our most exciting
events ahead of us...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-Notably, our Powisset Pig Roast will take place on Sunday,
September 16. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-We also have our final Friday Farm Dinner on September 21.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-On Sunday September 30, the farm will fill with people
celebrating the Jewish festival of Sukkot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-Although over a month away, our Harvest Fest will be on
October 14. Harvest Fest is one of our biggest events, and should be a blast! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Along with these large events, we have many other goings-on
at Powisset, including cooking classes in our kitchen. If you are interested in
any of these happenings, please check out our <a href="http://www.thetrustees.org/things-to-do/events.html?srrelated_property=56508840" target="_blank">events page</a>!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The weather is always in the front of our minds at the farm,
and this doesn’t change with the seasons. It has been far more comfortable
working in the cooler temperatures and it has given us a chance to plant our
last round of fall lettuce without the concern of the plants being stressed by
the extreme heat that we experienced throughout the summer. It looks like we
will see some more warmth and humidity in the coming week, but nothing like we
saw in July and August. The high humidity carries the potential to propagate
disease in the crops, but the temperate late summer weather is a change welcomed
by the plants and farmers alike.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To help brainstorm about one of our upcoming veggies, I
found a recipe for scalloped potatoes and leeks. Leeks are a good source of
vitamin K, manganese, vitamin B6, copper, iron, folate, and vitamin C. They are
also an excellent source of flavor. I cannot take any credit for this recipe,
but I will definitely be preparing it this week. We have a wide variety of
potatoes in the farm stand that would work beautifully with this dish. If you have
any other great recipes that you are willing to share, I’m sure that your
farmers and fellow members would be excited to hear about them! It is a long season full of some
lesser-known foods and some foods that we know all too well and are looking to
prepare in different ways.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the final days of summer upon us, we encourage you to
make the most out of your time at the farm! Enjoy walking along the trails that
lead along the fields and through the back pasture, or check out one of our
programs or events that you have been eyeing over the past months. While you
are in the area, why not check out Noanet Woodlands or Rocky Woods too? We hope
that Mother Nature will give us some time before frost blankets the ground, but
this is your opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without falling victim to instant
dehydration or frostbite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Labor Day is usually a marker of fall in New England, but
the heat didn’t seem to receive the message. We continue to be plagued with
high temperatures even as we tend to our final plantings of crops. Throughout
the season we have a certain amount of security in our successive plantings. If
one round of lettuce or squash has trouble, we can get squeak by if another
planting produces effectively. We have reached the point in the season where
there aren’t any future plantings left to rely on. With the exception of some
spinach in the greenhouse that is almost ready to go into the ground, there
aren’t any more seedlings left. This is a great feeling that tells us that we
have accomplished so much this season. However, it also means that we are
babying the last round of crops to ensure that they produce as much as possible
so we can finish off the season with a bang. As we harvest kale, chard, and
collards, we take extra care to pull weeds and clean dead leaves off the
plants, giving them ideal conditions to thrive. Fall plants are often the
tastiest, so the carrots and lettuces have also received additional attention
over the past couple weeks. I had the pleasure of working in the lettuce with a
group of volunteers from Pathways. They were an absolute pleasure to spend time
with, and we were able to complete multiple beds of weeding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This time of year also has us thinking about next year while
our challenges and successes are still fresh in our minds. As we work, we take
note of which crops did best in the fields and in the farm stand. We have
appreciated all of our members’ input with this information. We grow with our
community in mind, and we get the utmost satisfaction in stocking the barn with
veggies that enter kitchens as quickly as they come in from the fields. Our
manager, Andrew Kelly has done a great job at overcoming challenges in the
fields and planting crops that our consumers are most interested in, while also
bringing in different veggies that give members a new experience. Just over
halfway through his first season as manager, he is already focusing on making
next season even better.</span></div>

on Saturday. It was a beautiful event that allowed us to put the farm on
display for new guests from across the country. We would like to give a special
thanks to the Outstanding crew and chef Jamie Bissonnette for coming to the
property and creating a spectacular experience. I would highly recommend
attending one of these dinners in the future or visiting one of Jamie
Bissonnette’s three restaurants in Boston.</span></div>

Important things first, we will talk about this week’s
share. Pick your own will only be open when we are open for CSA distribution.
If special arrangements are needed, please contact our manager, Andrew Kelly at
<a href="mailto:akelly@thetrustees.org">akelly@thetrustees.org</a>. I would
like to tell everyone that you did such a great job picking cherry tomatoes
this week! It was great to see everyone enjoying the fruit, and the tomato
plants are glad to have lost some of that burdensome summer tomato weight.</div>

The week ahead looks like it is going to be a scorcher, but
last week had a focus on fall crops at Powisset Farm. We enjoyed the cooler
weather while harvesting the remainder of the spaghetti squash and moving into
the delicata squash. Because these cucurbits are so large and heavy, it does
not make sense to harvest into buckets while walking up and down the beds.
Instead, squashes are harvested by piling them into one or two rows,
and then tossing them to another person who catches them and places them into a
bulk bin being carried on a truck or tractor. This method is great for bloopers
at first, but quickly becomes faster and more amusing than traditional harvest
methods. </div>

Delicata are certainly my favorite squash, if not my
favorite vegetable that we produce at the farm. They are extremely tender and
flavorful, as well as easy to prepare. The thin skin is also edible, adding a
different texture to the dish. While they can be prepared in many ways, my
favorite is yet another simple recipe. After slicing the squash in half
lengthwise, scoop out and discard the innards. Then slice the halves into half
moons about ½ inch thick. Coat in olive oil and roast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
After reaping the squashes, attention was turned to our fall
brassicas. Broccoli and cauliflower were cultivated after nutrients were added
to the soil. Plants from the brassica family are often targets for insects
looking for a healthy meal. We hope that they have enough strength to
continue growing and bring their bounty back into the farm stand this fall.</div>

Away from Powisset Farm base camp, some work has begun at Fork
Factory Brook. You may have noticed that the fields across from Rocky Woods
have looked different this week. After much work plowing to break up unwanted
growth and prepare for cover crop, we were finally able to put down some seed
that will hopefully replenish nutrients back into the soil. Other local farmers
had used these fields in past years, but they have come back to Powisset this
year. Before we can use the area to produce crops for consumption, we will make
sure that the environment is healthy for growing sustainably. If you are stuck
in a long line of cars on Hartford or Walpole Streets, we apologize if it is
our fault. Tractors can only drive so fast.</div>

If you are one of the many who love fresh local meats as
well as veggies, we have some excellent chickens for sale in our farm stand.
Produced by our friend at Tree House Farms in Millis, MA, these chickens are raised on a
grass and foraging diet. I would definitely recommend picking up one of these
birds to accompany your veggie share before we sell out.</div>

Looking ahead to next week, we have one of the final Friday
Farm Dinners taking place on September 7. If you have been thinking about
attending one of these dinners, please register now. There are only a couple
more opportunities left, and it is a long winter before they return. If you are
looking to enjoy a great beverage without the dining experience, Notch Brewing
is returning to Powisset on Saturday and Sunday, September 8-9. Notch brings a
really cool concept to the farm, as well as some excellent beer. This will be
the last time that they come to Powisset this season, so don’t miss out!</div>

I would like to say again how thankful we are for the
members, customers, and friends that make Powisset Farm possible. We love the
work that we do, and we are proud to bring these experiences to the community. It
has been a great season so far, and we are only about half way done!</div>

Last week ended in the same way as the past few have ended;
with rain during Saturday’s distribution. All of the precipitation has eased
our minds of drought, but has made it difficult to harvest and work in the
tomato beds. As I have mentioned before, rainfall contributes to the spread of
spores that cause blight. We were able to sneak into the fields to harvest a
bit from our first planting and twine and weed some of our second planting.
While some of our first plants are showing signs of disease, the second round
of plants is located far enough away that it hasn’t been affected yet. Tomatoes
take weeks of time and care to produce and harvest, but they are certainly a
summer favorite. Please remember to pick as many cherry tomatoes as possible as
part of your share. The plants are bursting with fruit and they like to be
picked. As much as we try to donate our food, the crows have been receiving
more than they need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

We are fine with animals taking some of the vegetables that
have gone past their prime, but coyotes continue to be a problem in our
watermelons. Before farming, I never thought that these animals would have such
a sweet tooth for succulent summer treats. Every day we find shells of melons
that have been hollowed out all the way to the rind. We have even found
evidence that these canines have been snacking during our short lunch breaks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The challenge of the week was certainly taking precious time
to get some of our aging tractors up and running when we needed them. Farmers
wear many hats, and one of the roles that I have found most challenging is that
of mechanic. I have the utmost respect for this profession, as it seems that
almost infinite problems can occur on a vehicle and it takes a detective to
diagnose the issue, let alone form a solution and make repairs. Our old
tractors can be simpler to work on, but the job is made more difficult by the
lack of manuals and parts that exist after so much time. I am fortunate to have
patient and knowledgeable teachers while I learn basic maintenance and repairs.
Cultivation is difficult and time-consuming, but frustration builds when the
tractor has to be jump-started five times in a week. Regardless, we are
grateful for the equipment that makes our jobs possible. Even jump-starting a
tractor five times beats having to crawl around in five-foot tall weeds in
search of carrots.</div>

In other news, there is a Friday Farm Dinner this week on
8/24. With the sunsets already falling earlier and earlier, I would encourage
you to register before time runs out. It is a beautiful way to spend an evening
at our farm, eating outstanding locally produced food and having conversation
surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the area. If you are
looking for a more low-key way to enjoy a meal at Powisset, our café is open on
Saturdays from 10-2. I have always been impressed with the food, and there isn’t
a better way to kick off your weekend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are also still running the beef stick/egg giveaway. <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">If you buy a
dozen eggs from our farm stand and find a super cool chicken drawing inside the
carton, you can redeem the carton for a package of bbq beef sticks made from
Trustees grass-fed cattle, or another carton of eggs.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lastly, we want to wish our summer crewmember Karen the best
of luck in the upcoming year! She has been part of the Powisset team for nine
summers, and I can’t think of a nicer or more capable person to work with in
the fields. I am grateful that we will see her around the farm from time to
time as the year goes on, but we will miss her help and friendship on a daily
basis.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope to see you soon,</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Summer sunshine and rain has been keeping us busy with
harvesting as the crops continue to produce plentiful fruit and vegetables.
Between weeding and picking, we have been making time to plant some of our fall
crops. It is surreal to think that while we plant these crops in sweltering
heat, we will be hiding from shadows and piling on layers to prevent frostbite
as we pack them into bins for storage in the root cellar. We so carefully try
to provide for these plants’ every need, obsessing over how vulnerable they
might be to drought, pests, and other environmental challenges. However, these
plants can be much stronger than the farmers who plant them. Kale’s green
plumage doesn’t break a sweat in August heat, but can stand strong even as a
fall breeze bites at its leaves. Carrots that fight with weeds for precious
sunlight in baking temperatures, take on their best flavor after frost blankets
the soil between their frilly greens and their stout orange (or yellow, purple,
or red) roots. They can then sometimes rest in limbo, powdered with dirt, for
weeks before making their way into the kitchen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sweetness of fall carrots is on the horizon, but still a
couple pages away on the calendar. For now, we will enjoy the availability of
summer crops while they last. The most talked about crop this past week was the
“watermelon” that made its way into the share. Often confused with its
tablemate spaghetti squash, the Sun Jewel melon is a pretty fruit that tastes
more thirst quenching than it looks.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also known as a Korean melon, this variety does well in our northern
climate. Another crop that some seemed hesitant to select was the Fairy Tale
eggplant. This selection is worth taking the time to weigh out on the scale. It
is an award-winning variety that does well stir-fried or grilled in a basket.
The flavor and texture is as delicate and beautiful as it appears from the
outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are sorry for those of you who typically pick up on
Saturdays, as we experienced yet another rainy CSA distribution this past
weekend. We have been trying to keep some pick your own goodies on hand to
offer an “indoor pick your own” experience, but please feel free to come by the
farm this week during distribution hours to collect your pick your own veggies
if you missed out due to weather conditions.</span></div>

<span style="color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The
summer heat has stayed the same, but our CSA distribution will look a bit
different this week. After adding tomatoes last week, we are excited to add
spaghetti squash, watermelon, and celery this week. While heat can cause
problems with growing, it has been more of a problem to the farm team than it
has been to the crops. There is a certain peace that comes with accepting
uncomfortable conditions, but it becomes incredibly difficult to keep one’s
physical condition in good shape when so many hot days are strung together.
With mindful hydration, occasional rest, and always watching out for one
another, we have been able to keep the team running smoothly. Fortunately, we
have received enough rainfall that drought conditions are not a big concern
yet.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454545;">Despite
the many months left in the growing season, we begin to say goodbye to our
summer crew throughout the next few weeks. We were extremely fortunate to work
with Gabe, a new farmer this year. He proved himself by tackling every job with
a smile, no matter how difficult it was. We hope that he learned a few lessons
during his tenure at Powisset, and we will certainly miss the excellent
conversation when we are weeding carrots or picking squash. We hope that our
new friend enjoys his time abroad and makes the most out of the remainder of
his college experience.</span><span style="color: #454545;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454545;">We
are sorry that the PYO tomatoes and tomatillos were closed on Saturday due to
rain. If you were unable to get cherry tomatoes, please feel free to stop by
and claim your share during our CSA hours this week. In this week’s share, we
will be picking Sun Gold cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, hot peppers, and
raspberries. We close the tomatoes to both members and employees during wet
conditions. Blight is a disease that lives in the soil and can quickly wipe out a
farm’s entire planting of tomatoes. When it begins to rain, activity in the
tomato beds causes the spores to spread far more quickly. We also limit the
risk of blight by twining tomatoes to increase airflow, and cutting down on
weed pressure as much as possible.</span><span style="color: #454545;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545;">If you are wondering why spaghetti squash made its way into the share so early, you are not alone. The warm summer that we've had has caused the squashes to become ready earlier than expected. A disease called downy mildew also threatens these plants, forcing us to harvest before the risk increases. Not to worry, there are many more winter squashes coming on, and we hope they will be ready for you in the coming weeks!</span></div>

We began harvesting two new crops this week; tomatoes and
eggplant. It was great to see everyone enjoying the pick-your-own cherry
tomatoes. The plants are looking great so far, and there is some really
beautiful heirloom fruit hiding in their vines. The larger tomatoes have also
come into season, and you may have noticed some for sale in the farm stand on
Saturday. We will have the typical red tomatoes available, but we also have
other varieties to look out for. Please keep this in mind when selecting your
produce from the farm stand as some feature green stripes or are completely
white even when fully ripe.</div>

Eggplant is certainly one of the most interesting crops to
harvest. Before getting started, the farm crew was given a lesson on how to
safely handle the beautiful fruit that tries to fight back when being picked.
First, the sharp spikes near the stem will cause painful pricks that can hurt
all day. The fruit should be handled by its smooth bottom until it makes its
way into water for processing. At this stage, the spikes soften up and become
less of a hazard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This plant also
releases a chemical when picked that can cause feelings of illness or fatigue.
While the fruit is safe (and actually quite healthy) to eat, this defense
mechanism feels like something out of a horror movie. Dangers aside, these
plants have a multitude of other unique facts that set them apart from other
plants that we grow on the farm. For one, these plants, referred to as
aubergines in other parts of the world, are a member of the nightshade family.
This means that they are closely related to tomatoes and potatoes. Unlike
potatoes, this “vegetable” is actually a berry that contains a low level of
nicotine. Not to worry, one would have to consume an outlandish amount of
eggplant in order to reach a level of nicotine even remotely close to that of a
cigarette. Lastly, these small plants can reach a height of over eight feet in
some parts of the world.</div>

As I’m sure you have noticed, the summer squash plants have been working hard
to pump out their beautiful fruit. We are already moving into our third
planting, with more to come. Carrots were a big hit last week, and there will
be more in this week’s share. If you can postpone eating them long enough to
bring them into the kitchen, I recently had an excellent side of julienned
carrots and broccoli that were drizzled in a mix of balsamic vinegar and
Italian dressing before being roasted. There are many great recipes out there
to mix up familiar vegetables, but I find that the simplest ones are often the
best. Since Mother Nature did a great job providing us with this food, very
little is needed on our part to turn the vegetables into a great meal.</div>

Our big harvest challenge of the week took place in the
garlic field. The garlic had grown to an ideal size to be picked and hung to
cure, but an impending rainstorm had us nervous that we would not get it out in
time. Of course, it is not ideal to bring wet garlic indoors when the mission
is to dry it. Thanks to the quick work of our crew, we were able to complete
the harvest just in the nick of time and head inside to tie and hang the plants
as the rain pitter-pattered overhead on the plastic roof of the greenhouse. The
curing process will intensify the flavors of the garlic and increase
anticipation for the day when it is ready for distribution.</div>

Another week down, another week closer to harvesting
tomatoes! We grow many different crops at Powisset, but the plump red orbs
(sometimes orange, yellow, green, or purple) always seem to be a summer
favorite in New England. I say it all the time, but this is a vegetable where
you can truly taste the difference between a local product and a product from a
large growing operation. Local farms tend to put more care into their soil,
resulting in a tomato bursting with flavor and nutrients. So far, I have only
eaten a single cherry tomato that ripened early, and it was definitely the best
tomato that I have eaten in my life. I can’t promise that they will all be that
way, but I am certainly excited for more of them to be ready.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since tomatoes are such an important part of our farm, we
put a great deal of care into them. A tomato plant starts as a seed in a tray
with hundreds of siblings. Even though growing conditions within a tray are
almost identical, it is amazing to see how some seeds grow quickly while others
straggle behind. We then take the strongest of the bunch and transplant them
into a tray with bigger cells (“potting-up”) where they will have enough
nutrients to bulk up before heading outside. By selecting the strongest plants
at this stage, we give ourselves the best chance of using a vine that will
produce the best tasting and highest volume of fruit later on in the season. Once
planted, next comes the strenuous task of pounding in stakes. The hundreds (if
not thousands) of stakes set the stage for the beloved task of tomato twining.
String is tediously threaded between the plants and stakes throughout the
season as the plants grow taller to keep the vines from touching the ground.
This makes it easier to harvest the fruit, but more importantly it allows for
increased airflow. This is the best way to prevent blight. This year, we have
added an additional step by laying straw or weed cloth in the aisles between
beds. By cutting down on weeds, we will again increase airflow and also
decrease pests and competition for water. Having done the best we can, let’s
hope for a great start to tomato season soon!</div>

I hope that everyone had a great Fourth of July and that you
were able to beat the heat! The high temperatures have certainly been the most
challenging issue at the farm. It is as difficult on the plants as it is on the
crew, and it is one frustrating variable that farmers cannot change. Our staff
worked hard to stay hydrated and we were out in the fields by 6:00am in order
to take advantage of the somewhat cooler morning hours.</div>

While the heat is uncomfortable and works against
productivity, it is even more harmful to some of our crops. Many of our veggies
prefer cooler temperatures, but weeds thrive in the heat of the summer. With so
much harvesting and planting going on, pulling weeds seems like it would be
further down on the list of priorities. However, we have invested so much into
our crops that weeding takes an extremely important role in making sure that
our investments make their way into the farm stand for distribution. In this
business (or any business), product quality and safety is of utmost importance.
This means that to keep everything at an acceptable temperature, we must bring
our harvested vegetables up in smaller loads immediately after they are picked.</div>

Despite these difficulties, our crew has come out of the
week in good health and our plants are still doing great. The rain that we
received was a definite help, as was the bulk supply of sports drinks and
popsicles. As great as our produce tastes, cold ice water has been the most
delicious thing consumed this week. Our crew did a great job of staying tough
and taking care of one another. It is great to work with people who consider
each other friends and watch out for each other’s well being. We thoroughly
enjoy our work, and we truly appreciate our CSA members who support our
mission.</div>

Last week also brought a seasonal challenge to our members;
the arrival of kohlrabi. Many rejoice in the unique vegetable that is seldom
found in grocery stores while others question what in the world to do with it.
I was also confused by it when I first arrived at the farm last summer. I
quickly found that the easiest way to enjoy kohlrabi is to eat it raw. Peeled
and cut into thin slices, it is great on a salad, dipped in humus, or eaten
plain. On the other hand, my favorite way to prepare it is by roasting it with
other vegetables that are currently in season. I have found that it takes a bit
longer to cook than other veggies, so I cut it smaller and mix it all up with
some oil, garlic, and spices. If these options aren’t to your liking, I would
still suggest browsing the internet in search of a recipe that suits your
taste. It really is a versatile piece of produce, and it is certainly not
something that is seen every day.</div>
