Summer is going fast! Can't believe it's September

Hello everyone!

Boy what a month-
Everything is growing like crazy, even the weeds----yuk! All the produce is tasting wonderful. Some look better than others but that is what you get with organically grown veggies or anything organic for that matter. Some of the melons have some bugs on the outside but if you open it up you will see that it's only on the outside and they are very taste and ripe to perfection.
I hope everyone realise that we are actually able to give more out to our shareholders since we planted 2 acres more for the numbers of shareholders we have. We are very happy to be able to do this for you. One other thing we have been doing with extra produce is giving some out to those in need. This has been a very trying time for all in our state this year and we hope we can help even a few families. One of our shareholder's sister is involved in a mobile food pantry with the Lutheran Church in Comstock Pk and came out and picked and donated some of our extras that we have. They were very grateful for this and we are very pleased to be able to help in even this small way.
As many of you know, we also had that storm a few weeks ago come through like a tornado and did some damage to our trees that we have had for over 100 years. Luckily the garden didn't have too much damage. The corn was sideways for a few days but straightened up again. There may be a few veggies that may have some bruises on them but all in all, we are very lucky!

As we have said before, if anyone wants any extra for canning or freezing you are more than welcome to come out and pick what you need.

Have a wonderful month!
