Ayers Creek Farm Newsletter November 16 2014 Market
Guest User
I will have van loaded for tomorrow's Hillsdale Farmers' Market, set up with winter shoes in case of ice. The market opens with the bell at 10:00 AM.
Monday, we processed most of the plum preserves, leaving just the green gage after Thanksgiving. The jar were still too hot to handle when Carol left for Branchport, NY, perched at the tip of the middle finger lake, offering a few weeks of postpartum companionship for our daughter.
The cold weather has forestalled plans to harvest greens, they are fine but are too delicate to handle. It is a waste of time to even try. Nonetheless, I will have fennel, spuds, sweet potatoes, knob celery, onions and black radish. A couple of other odds and ends as well.
I will also have on hand a splendid assortment of legumes and grains. Cayennes and pumpkin seeds as well. As noted earlier, there is a good selection of preserves ready.
