It’s the first full week of November and things are still moving at full
steam here at the farm! This week we
have planted more than half of our garlic crop for next year and the crew is
spreading the leaf mulch as I write this!
We are closing down our flower and herb gardens and taking down the
raspberry trellis in preparation to mow them down once winter really sets
in. And starting tomorrow we will be
preparing for our second of four winter CSA pick-ups! I hope that you will join me at the farm this
Saturday for more winter veggies from Powisset and even catch a listen to one
of our very own CSA members’ bands—playing from around 2-4 pm at the barn!
Festive!
I hope to see you there!

and marvel at their work - they’ll be with us from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Take a

Crantastic!
It's the time of year
for those sweet, tart and glorious berries to make an appearance - cranberry
season! This season, we're proud to offer fresh and frozen cranberries from The
Edible Yard, just down the road in Plymouth, MA. Cranberry grower, Jen, gives
her crop a lot of intense TLC from start to finish. These berries are dry
harvested in small batches before being sorted by hand to ensure the highest
quality possible. Check the Farm Stand shelves and the freezer and take home some
of these treats for all your fall baking and cooking projects!
News From the Powisset
Farm Kitchen:
On Sunday a hearty crowd
braved our first snowfall and joined us at the farm to celebrate the farm
season with Sweaters, Soups and Pies. While some rocked to the beat of the
“Something Shameless” band , kids and adults enthusiastically jumped on our
bicycle powered apple cider maker. Sweaters warmed our bones from the cold
night as the abundant array of soups and pies warmed us from the inside out. As
always, it is a pleasure to see community members gathering to enjoy the
farm. An especially sweet moment struck me as the evening’s clean up
began; a father and son teamed up to wash and rinse dishes. Most 9 year olds I
know are not particularly psyched about dish washing. While I’m not sure of the
exact initial draw, many times over the course of the 30-45 minutes of
dishwashing with his dad I overheard the boy exclaim, “this is so cool!” I
admit that our rinse sprayer is pretty fun to use. It’s almost like the kitchen
equivalent of a water gun although of course we don’t use it that way! I wonder
if the sprayer was only part of the allure. Perhaps the joy and connection that
overflowed from the music, cider pressing and sharing of food tapped into a
deeper inspiration. Whatever the reason, it was a pleasure to see family
members working together to add to our community. Watching this father and son
reminded me that the kitchen is a hugely powerful space to create connection
and learning. As the days get shorter and the nights longer, may we all
enjoy kitchen time that nourishes on all levels. Read below for upcoming
opportunities for you and your family to connect, learn and receive nourishment
from the Powisset Farm Kitchen!

These are some beautiful parks and landscapes. I wish I had a nice view of something like this from my home. My current home has a nice view of the lake though, and that is beautiful enough for me.
