New Field Farm's Online Market: Bull's Horn peppers, the Red Sox, and porcupines
Greetings,
It’s the height of the sweet red Bull’s Horn peppers so if you enjoy them now’s the time to get some. We slice them, put them in freezer bags and then in the freezer, and use them all winter for stir fry, beans and rice, pizza, and soups.
We’re in a lettuce slump at the moment. Those available are smaller than usual, but at least they’ll fit in your fridge.
We have an excellent onion and leek crop this year. As you may have noticed, the Ailsa Craigs are very large. If you’ve ordered a pound you were probably getting as much as a pound and a half or more.
Cucumbers are about over, sadly. We’ll have a few so ask for them in the comment section if you don’t see them listed and we may be able to pass some along.
All the heavy rain that’s forecast may not be kind to the tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, but we’ll hope for the best.
We put up the fabric fence to keep the porcupines out of the brassicas, but they just shrugged and climbed over to do more damage. I caught one in the middle of the night last week and took it far away. Then we raised the height of the fence. Another porcupine just decided that it was the cost of doing business – they’re tree climbers after all- and climbed over it as well. We got back at 1:30 last night from our once-in-a-blue moon ritual of going to Fenway for a Red Sox game and I caught a second porcupine, the fourth of the season. We’ll raise the fence one more time and see what happens (I don’t seem to get the obvious). At least it slows them down and makes them a little easier to catch. I’ve been told that fisher cats, their main predator, are declining so the porcupines are increasing. This damage to broccoli, cauliflower, etc. never happened to us before 2015. At least they haven’t gotten most of it like they did that season, so cauliflower, red and green cabbage, and more broccoli *are on the way. And there’s still plenty of *kale, so far.
I hope you’re enjoying all the produce and thanks as ever for your orders.

Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op: Reminder
Don’t forget to place your co-op order before Tuesday at 9pm. There’s lots of great foods from local farmers waiting for you.
GFM : Pre-Order Bread among other things
Do you know, that if you would like to sleep a little later on Saturdays, rather than get to the market at 9 am, you can pre-order some of our goodies, produce, breads, jellies, crafts and more. That way we won’t sell out before you arrive. We will hold your order with your name on it, till 10 am. After that it goes up for first one that ask for it.
Some of us only have so much to go around so if you are really wanting something, speak up. That way if it is something we can make extra of, such as Breads, we can do so, to ensure that you get some.
If you have a question, email, and we will get the vendor to get in touch with you to talk about your order.
Thank you
