Dear friends of B & H Organic Produce,

Wow, winter is officially here. I know it is December but it feels suddenly cold. I am having allergy symptoms. I say it is because I am allergic to winter. My friend in Acupuncture school says it is "Cold Wind Disease." Either way, I am hibernating with my computer and my fire place.
Last week we worked very hard to clean out the fields. We harvested everything we could from the field and packed it away for winter storage. Then we removed the remaining row covers, hoops and irrigation. It is sad to see it end but it is too too cold to be working outside.
We still have quite a bit of root crops stored that are sweet and ready for eating. And they will still be more fresh than any of the crops at the grocery store. We will be doing our weekly deliveries until there is nothing left to deliver and we will still be stocking our store.
The seed catalogs are rolling in. I can't wait to get to them. But, first I must deal with the piles of paperwork which have been waiting and accumulating all season.
Here is what we will be delivering this week. Please email me your orders by Wednesday evening.
  • savoy cabbage $2.00
  • celery root $1.50
  • baby red beets $2.00
  • salad mix $4.50
  • turnips $2.00
  • daikon $2.00
  • lettuce- romaine or butterhead - 2 small heads or 1 large $2.00
  • carrots- red or orange- no tops $2.00
  • fennel- smaller heads $2.00
  • pac choi $2.00
  • butternut squash - smaller $2.00
Thank you all so much and stay warm,
Erica
