This is the final week of Summer Harvest at Wild Hare. Maybe it is the drizzly weather, plucking the last few ripe tomatoes from the field, or maybe it is the result of combing through hundreds of photos of the growing year in a single afternoon, but wrapping up Summer really brings out the wistful farmer in me. My heart can barely handle it. Honestly.
To our customers, our crew, our family, our friends and community partners (and to so many of you check multiple boxes)—THANK YOU. Your trust, your dedication and sincere enthusiasm for this farm are what keep us going and growing. Mark and I have chosen a very weird and difficult life, but the people with whom we share our life and livelihood make our toughest days worthwhile and our successes that much more meaningful. Thank you so much for choosing us to be your farmers. Eleven Summers in and it still means the world.
And with that, we will roll right into our Fall CSA Season next week—and there’s so much great food to look forward to in Fall! We’ve got loads of lovely Pumpkins, Winter Squashes, and just about everything you’ll need to make warm soups, curries, roasts and baked goods during the cozy months ahead. We hope you’ll join us! The farm stand will still be OPEN into Fall, but we’ll drop down to Tuesdays 12-7 and Wednesdays 10-5 starting on October 1st. (This means that October 4th will be our last Saturday for weekend CSA Pickups and Farmstand Shopping for the year).
Thank you for your support this Summer…here’s to a fantastic Fall!
Katie & Mark
