With the daytime temperatures up well into the 70s in most of the Cleveland area, this news may be surprising, but this past Friday marked a big change in the farming community with the first frost. A full moon in a cloudless sky is beautiful, but without the insulating blanket of cloud cover, temperatures dropped to 32 in parts of Holmes county and about 35 in the Lodi/Homerville area. 

The frost wasn't quite enough to kill warm-weather plants like zucchinis, eggplants, cukes, and tomatoes, but as Trevor puts it, "just enough to tickle the leafy greens and root vegetables." We will have grape tomatoes in the bag this week, because Jonas (one of our farmers) has his in a high tunnel to protect them. Cold hardy crops like kale, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower should still be safe until close to Thanksgiving, depending of course on the weather. 

We're going to be packing up the trucks with all these cases and pieces that you ordered, so please don't forget to bring your confirmation (either show it to your Greeters on your phone or print it out) and go to your primary pick up location on file.
