This thanksgiving we have nothing but gratitude. A hard start to our season, a full month without blooms due to delayed planting, frosts, and catching up on the farm, and yet our season is finishing off just stellar. While we had a lot of crops that just didn’t work this year (see: June frosts and delayed planting), we learned so much and had so many amazing interactions and made so many wonderful new connections. And all of you really showed for our flowers this year - THANK-YOU. The bouquets, bloom buckets, vase arrangements, bridal parties, and a few build your own bouquet events kept us busy. And here it is Thanksgiving, and we still are picking tomatoes for our wonderful CSA customers and sending out last minute bouquets for your thanksgiving table.
Tonight we’re having our own roasted leeks, mashed pink pearl potatoes, carrots, pumpkin pie (courtesy of the kids garden), and local blueberry pie. We’re stocking our freezer with roasted tomato white bean soup and batching chocolate chip zucchini muffins. We’re stashing some red kuri squash for winter loaves and freezing pumpkin purée for snow storm pies. We’re likely saying goodbye to flower season. This week we’ve noticed a significant slow down of blooms, and tomorrow night is gonna be cold. We’re hoping for some late to the game heirloom chrysanthemums, so stay tuned for those! And we’re looking forward to Leisha’s preserves which will start very soon…
Happy Thanksgiving!
