* The dry beans include either Vermont cranberry, black turtle, or Arikara. If you don't know how to cook them, there is plenty of info online. The Vermont cranberry beans were featured in the RAFT program this year. Arikara beans are a Native American bean (named after the Arikara tribe), and were crucial in sustaining the Lewis and Clark expedition. Thomas Jefferson also used to rave about these beans!

CUTTING GARDEN: There are still lots of herbs! Notably, marjoram, parsley, and oregano in abundance.

BAG RETURN: Please remember to bring back your bags. Also, if you could bring back the bags you take away this week, we'd appreciate it. You can visit us at the Portsmouth Farmer's market to drop off bags as well.

Thank you so much for a great season! We'll be sending you a survey soon. If you intend to sign up for next year, let us know soon.
