Don't forget that Gleaning starts next week and you will be able to harvest more for these recipes and have fresh produce for Thanksgiving!
Gleaning - Starts November 21 - Mondays thru Saturdays - Noon till Dusk
Gleaning will happen once again this year! Meaning current shareholders will be able to harvest vegetables on their own AFTER our Bonus Harvest week. You will be able to venture out into the fields and hand pick your favorite fall vegetables until it becomes too cold for the vegetables to keep on going.
Gleaning will begin on November 21 and will be open on Mondays thru Saturdays. Gleaning will keep happening until the temperatures become too low for the crops. We ask that you do not come on Sundays just so the residents will not be bothered. Please only come between Noon and Dusk. When harvesting only pick a reasonable amount so other shareholders can glean too. Please glean responsibly :) Have fun!
Long shadows and colder days at the Farm.
