Family, we are always talking with our farmers and many have expressed this same sentiment: Because we have had this relentless rainy cool weather, some of the plants are not doing well. Discoloration and "slimy-ness" are directly attributable to this weather.
In the fall with the decreasing amount of sun intensity the plants are not as resilient. Growth slows and bad actors start to make their move, attacking in the form of disease that thrives without the sun to maintain a dry and UV rich environment.
We are always actively keeping the produce fresh, but also always want to keep you in the loop--just having some of the usual fall bouts with Sweet Mother Nature.
Easy Slow Cooker Potato Soup
It's potato soup; it's so good; it means fall is here and you need a place for your scallions to rest atop a bed of creamy potatoes with pancetta. And you need some bread from Berlin Natural Bakery to go with it!
