After a low key Thanksgiving at our house, we set off on Wednesday afternoon for our last weekly trip of the season to pick up veggies at Chestnut Acres. We've enjoyed the weekly drive, which includes 2 short ferry trips, especially over the last few weeks as the leaves have been turning their bright colours.
This week's bag was filled with potatoes, carrots, lettuce mix, green onions, beets, parsnips, butternut squash, garlic, parsley and turnip.
It has been a challenging vegetable growing season for Jodi and Andrew, and we appreciate the results of all their efforts. We'll be thinking of them on Saturday as they complete their harvest. And as the winter months unfold, no doubt we'll be looking forward to the earliest of the fresh greens right from our own neighbourhood.
If fresh organic vegetables every week interest you, check the Chestnut Acres website, where they will probably be accepting new subscribers in March.
