Thanksgiving Boxed Shares & Farmstand Offerings

Hello CSA and Farm community! The warmth of this autumn has been a blessing for the veggies. We have a lot of gorgeous greens and roots for your upcoming holiday meal.
Leaf, butterhead and romaine lettuces, daikon and red radish, salad turnip, carrots, potatoes, bok choi, kale,

swiss chard, broccoli, romanesco, celery, cabbage, garlic, winter squash, herbs: parsley, sage, oregano.
Come visit us on Tuesday from 2-5 and pick up your local veggies for Thanksgiving. Or place an order for a special packed Thanksgiving Boxed Share (veggies grown by all of us farmers at the Trustees- so Appleton, Powisset and Chestnut) and I will have it packed and ready for you to pick up on Monday (or Tuesday since the farmstand will be open!).

I'm happy to announce a Thanksgiving CSA Share of great fall veggies: some grown right here at Chestnut Hill Farm, with the rest of the food coming from our friends and colleagues at Powisset Farm in Dover and Appleton Farms in Ipswich. 

• This share is a 1-time pickup on Monday, November 21: a mix of lovely fall foods, from potatoes, beets, and carrots to lettuce and kale, herbs, winter squash, and more, just in time for Thanksgiving! 
• Cost is $50 per CSA share.
• Additional local goodies (honey, maple syrup, etc.) can be ordered via the signup form for delivery with the CSA share.
• Please pay by check (make out to The Trustees) at the time of pickup. Please total the cost of your CSA Box, along with any additional items you may select.
• All vegetables are raised with care at our farms and grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
• We need your signup by Wednesday, November 16 so we can plan for harvest and deliveries. 

Shares will be ready for pickup at Chestnut Hill Farm on Monday, November 21, from 2-5pm. 

Sign up here.

Next Tuesday will be the last regular farmstand of the season- though we will continue to have limited offerings on Tuesdays during Meat CSA pickups, including eggs, our honey, maple syrup and tomato puree.

And eggs- your cakes, pies, puddings and other eggie delights will be masterpieces using our high quality farm eggs from our pasture-raised hens. Dark orange yolks, stand-up whites (wow, meringue!) and incredible rich flavor. They truly make a difference for the better in recipes (and for eating, of course).

While we still have Saturnalia in December here on the farm. Please don't forget that your Trustees membership gets you free or reduced entry fees into workshops, classes and more ALL winter long at other Trustees properties. Don't miss this opportunity to take an art class, go on a hike with a specialist, or tour one of the gorgeous historic houses our organization maintains. Ski at Notchview!!!!! It is one of my favorite places in the world and it only has gotten better- the cross country skiing is amazing, but I've also attended beautiful weddings, gone on summer hikes and more.
This past weekend, Gwyn and I jumped in the car and headed to Rocky Woods down in Medfield to see Creature Teachers and their incredible animals. We got to pet a flying squirrel!!!!a porcupine!!!! and see a gray fox (rarely ever seen because they prefer the woods and are very well camouflaged) and more. It was fabulous and I have to say that I have yet to be disappointed by a Trustees venue (I get the member discount too).
So. Grab up the program guides that come in the mail or check out the website Trustees-Things to Do and find something cool and fun!
