Volume 9

Dear Shareholders,

What a wonderful week full of normal summer weather! We are starting to finally harvest peppers and a limited amount of full size tomatoes.  We are also into a delightful set of radishes…(greens are edible) Please remember that you share in the bounty and the potential loss regarding your CSA membership.  So far the responses from you the shareholders, have been overwhelmingly positive.

We want to invite all of you to join our 8 week Fall CSA.  Personal invitations will be mailed out this week to everyone.  Check out the site to become fully informed regarding varieties and availability for our fall vegetables and fruit.  Remember that we will also provide an 8 week egg share for those members who desire it. 

Two of our pepper varieties for this week include the Biscayne and the early Jalapeno.  Biscaynes are Cubanelles famous for freezing.  They can range from pale green-yellow to red ripe.  Early Jalapenos are sausage shaped that have a 3 pepper heat level.  Peppers that are hot types are measured from 1 unit to 5 units.  This is not the Scoville measurement system, only designed by Johnny’s Selected Seeds for use with the seed varieties they carry.  So, early Jalapenos are moderately hot.  Enjoy the certified Organic corn and all the other wonderful bounty found in this share. 

Come Join us for our Fall 8 week CSA featuring all your favorites and then some! 

From all of us at Heavens Harvest may you receive an unexpected beautiful blessing today!
