News from the farm 

We’ve been wrapping up the planting of next year’s onions and garlic this week. They’ve gone into mulched beds – twenty-two 400-footers so far – and soon we’ll cover them with the floating row covers that will keep them snug until spring. Your CSA shares will include the last of our fall 2024 crop.

The growing season is winding down quickly. Cover crops are taking off. Most of our storage crops have either already been harvested or will be soon. You can still find stray beds of beets, kohlrabi, leeks, cabbage, broccoli and greens, but they will be brought in this week or next. We’ll clean up greenhouses, tuck irrigation supplies away, and then the CSA season will be over.

We will soon turn our attention to a half-built equipment barn. The trusses and steel have arrived. We hope to have the roof finished by Thanksgiving.

If you are a half-share member of our CSA and pick up on odd-weeks, this week’s share will be your last of the season. Thank you for being with us. We hope you have enjoyed your CSA experience. Feel free to send a note any time sharing your thoughts.

If you are as disappointed as we are that the CSA season is coming to an end, you might be interested in our Thanksgiving Share. Find out more here: Windflower Farm’s 2025 Winter Share. The Thanksgiving Share will consist of a wide variety of storage vegetables, including butternut squash, red andyellow onions, leeks, garlic, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets, plus an abundance of fresh greens (spinach, kale, lettuce) from our high tunnels, apples and cider from the Borden Farm, and optional grains, maple products and eggs from neighboring farmers. We hope you can join us. 

Have a great week, 

Ted
