Nick’s internship has sadly come to an end! He is an extraordinary part of this year’s CSA; he is hard working and dedicated to growing delicious, healthy food. Also, he is a wonderful person and we are thankful to have his friendship. We are going to be sad without him, but wish him all the best as he continues his studies at SIU. Thanks you for everything, Nicholas!
Southern Illinois has experienced a hint of fall weather reminding all of us why we live here- sometimes in HOT July it’s difficult to remember. There have been many harbingers of the Fall on the farm… The Fall Garden is looking good and we just planted more, the sweet potato harvest is approaching, and the winter squash are beginning to ripen. Also, Adam is being to talk frequently about hunting deer (much to my dismay). For those of you that don’t know, the bow hunt begins October 1st (a half hour before sunrise to be exact) and goes for an amazing 3 ½ months. Which is a very, very long time. I’m sure he will remember to grow and harvest some vegetables.
Hope this finds you all doing well!
Take care,
Anne
