today's harvest

FULL SHARES:
2-4 rutabaga*
bunch parsnip
bunch beets w/ greens
1-2 winter squash**
bunch collards
5 oz lettuce mix
cutting garden

SMALL SHARES:
1-2 rutabaga*
small bunch salad turnip
small bunch parsnip
bunch kale
6 oz chard mix
cutting garden

*Now and again you'll find a rutabaga that's hollow or even rotten in the middle. If this is the case w/ any you receive, please let us know and we'll replace it.

**Some of the butternut squash have discoloration on their skin that could go soft. This means they will not keep as long, so we'd recommend cooking it w/in the next week or so.

CUTTING GARDEN: Much of the cutting garden has been frosted, but you can still find a variety of herbs (the parsley is particularly nice) and some flowers. The Mexican sage (salvia Leucantha) has begun to bloom and is untouched by the frost. You can still find husk cherries that are ripe and undamaged by the frost, even though the plants are dying.
