October is off to a very full start as we begin our root harvests. While there’s plenty of rain in the forecast, there is not a cold night to be seen, so we’re holding off on harvesting a few things that benefit from a touch of frost for flavor. (Like Parsnips, for instance), but we’ve got to get started with stocking the cellar somehow. So, the crew has harvested White Daikon, Carrots and another round of bunched White Onions for this week that are going to be a great addition to the pointy little Cone Cabbages. I think it is a perfect combo for a nice little slaw, stir fry, brothy soup, pickle or ferment.

Happy Fall, Y’all!  Summer may be officially over, but Wild Hare Organic Farm will be open on Tuesdays 12-7 and Wednesdays from 10-5 from now through December 13th, and we're looking forward to sharing another great season with our CSA Members and local customers! (No Saturdays until next Summer). If you're taking the Fall off from the CSA but intend to return for a future season, be sure to keep an eye peeled for a Priority Registration Link in early November.  

SThis week, we’ll wrap up our final harvests of the 2023 Summer Season at Wild Hare.  I want to thank you for allowing us to grow for you, your families, and your friends this Summer.  Thank you for trying new recipes and sharing them with others. Mark and I are beyond grateful for the community and care that you help us bring to this little piece of land in the Puyallup Valley, and we hope that you enjoyed more than a few memorable meals, cut some beautiful bouquets of flowers, and above all, that you know how thankful we are for your support and enthusiasm for what we do.  We will roll right into our Fall CSA Season and begin our Fall Hours next week (just Tuesdays 12-7 and Wednesdays 10-5) on October 3rd and 4th.  September 30th will be our final open Saturday of the year. The sugar pumpkins, the colorful squashes, and the flavorful roots—they’re looking top notch this year, so get ready for incredible soups, roasts, slaws and stews!
