NOTES ON THE GOLDEN EARTHWORM VEGGIE SHARE
More tomatoes this week! A whopping 6 lbs of Red Tomatoes and a full quart of Cherry Tomatoes! Green Beans for the last time this month. They’re on the larger side, but still tender when lightly steamed. Chioggia Beets (striped white and red when sliced) are in the share without the tops. The tops had some damage and took up too much space in the box, so we decided to cut them off. They’re beautiful when sliced on a plate! Yellow Onions for your cooking, Sweet Basil to pair with your tomatoes in salads or as a pesto, and a Spaghetti Squash! The first of our winter squash harvest—see recipe and more info below.

NEWS FROM GOLDEN EARTHWORM FARM
We probably don’t have to tell you that we’re swimming in tomatoes here… If you’re thinking about canning some, now is the time! We have plum tomatoes shares available and all the details are below.

In other news, we’ve been busy seeding the remainder of our fall and winter root crops like carrots, rutabagas and beets. We’re also just beginning to harvest our winter squash crop. This week we kick off the season with a spaghetti squash, soon followed by acorn and sweet dumplings. These are the earliest squash to make an appearance in the shares because they don’t require curing. Coming a little later this fall will be sunshines, butternuts and baby blue hubbards.

PLUM TOMATO SHARES are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They can be picked up at Sunnyside CSA and Golden Earthworm farmers’ markets in Port Washington, Islip or Huntington on the weekends. Here are the details:

$35 for a 20lb box of Plum Tomatoes for canning and cooking. To order, please e-mail info@goldenearthworm.com with your requested number of shares and where you will be picking them up. Your choice for pick-up is: Port Washington Farmers’ Market (Saturday), Islip Farmers’ Market (Saturday), or Huntington Farmers’ Market (Sunday). We are now taking orders for pick-up on 8/18 and 8/19 ONLY. If we have more shares available for pick-up the following weekend we will post a notice in next week’s newsletter.
