Fall

— Fall —

Fall on the farm is all about harvest and preparation for Winter. The field is abundant with the best of the Summer produce - tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. The Fall crops are also hitting their peak - pumpkins, kale, spigariello and chicories. There is so much abundance it can be hard to choose what to cook. The greenhouse is almost empty except for our succession plantings of lettuces and the herbs we move in to keep warm in the Winter. Towards the beginning of November we do a final cultivation with a cover crop and tuck our beds in for the year. From a culinary perspective, Fall is a little of everything: tomatoes, winter squash, chicories, peppers, lettuces and cabbages. Fall is about really feeling the abundance of nature.

Erin was so mindful of all of our varying food restrictions - much appreciated! We loved that everything she cooked was made with food she harvested from her own garden that day - it doesn't get fresher! Everything was impeccably delicious. Erin and her server were both friendly and professional - would recommend them any time! - Allison
