Blue Fox Farm

Farming like there’s a tomorrow

The last farmers’ market of the 2008 season. Whew!

November 17th, 2008 Posted in General Randomness

Here we are at the last market of the season. It’s been a whirl wind of a time, but a great one. We’ve had yet another successful year. Like I say so often to so many people, “People are still eating…” I think I say that a lot because it’s an affirmation that the line of work we’re in here at Blue Fox Farm has meaning, substance, and can somewhat be insulated from sub-prime mortgage messes. (Ok so we are all affected in some way but food is mostly recession proof) That’s not only good for us the farmers, it’s also really good for you-the eaters. You have a foundation (food) that you can always rely on for sustenance. Even if we have to catapult the food over the hill to you we’ll continue growing it for you- all of our faithful eaters. I do believe that everyone should have an idea of how to grow their own food but I also realize that that’s not possible for everyone. We need people keeping busy doing other things that are just as important as food production. So to that I say, “We will continue growing food”.

Ok so that was my little bit I just got worked up over after reading an article online about “The 10 most recession proof jobs.” Agriculture wasn’t mentioned. Oh well.

Here’s what we have at market for the last one:

Arugula
Beets
Braising Mix
Broccoli
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Carrots
Chard
Leeks
Lettuce
Onions
Parsnips
Parsley
Potatoes
Radishes
Salad Mix
Spinach
Winter Squash
Turnips

So that’s it. We feel that we’re getting better and better with having produce later in the season each year. Hope you’ve enjoyed the fresh food throughout the season. I’ll be posting on the blog probably more often this winter since we actually have some down time. I have a slew of videos from the season that I wanted to get up during the season, but it never happened. Reality struck–> Sleep is more important than being groovy cool web 2.0 guy.
