Hi everyone,
We’ve finally come to the last share of the season. While I’m sure that I’ll soon be missing the bounty of veggies we enjoyed this season, I can’t say that I feel much other than relief and excitement to have some space from all the veggie prep of the season. It’s been a long one, with lots of ups and downs. We had things like corn at a record early harvest, but substantial rains in July really put a damper on the peppers this year. Lisa and I were looking back at some of the instagram stories we had posted earlier in the season reminiscing on fava beans, strawberries, and caulilini. We’ll be sure to put together a little highlight reel to share with you all.
In addition to the attrition of the season, we’ve had a particularly busy October which is making the season wrap-up drag a bit. Last week we cooked for Next Door Dinners at Guild Row. It was so great to see those of you that were able to grab tickets (it sold out!). It was a lot of work putting everything together but a lot of fun. We don’t often get to take the veggies all the way to completed dishes for large groups, and while we love prepping the veggies for CSA Club, being able to serve people a meal is deeply gratifying.
The consequence of being busy with Next Door Dinner (as well as with a couple other things) is that we haven’t quite been able to put together a plan for Soup Club yet. We may get around to having something more structured, but to be honest, it might just be an ad hoc thing if/when we find the time, ambition, and veggies to use up this fall. It’s been an amazing season, and I can’t put in words the gratitude that we have for you all joining us for it.
While this is the last share of the season, we are going to ask that you come see us one more time to return totes and containers (11/8 8-10am delivery/pickup).
We hope you all enjoy the share!
-Ben
