End of the season

Since our beets won't be fully mature before the end of the market season, we are harvesting them as greens. Beet greens are wonderful mixed with lettuce in salads. They are also nice when lightly sauteed in olive oil with salt and garlic. This picture show a new variety we are growing this year called blood red. You can tell from the color of the leaves where it gets its name. The green is some arugula that is also growing in the bed.

This Saturday is the last market of the year at the Richmond Farmers' Market. It has been a great first year and we're already planning to make next year's market bigger and better! If you are a vendor who would like to participate in the market or know someone who has an acoustic style band who like to perform at the market, please send us an email. In the meantime, we hope to see you Saturday for the last market of the year. If you can't make it to the market and need some chili powder as a stocking stuffer, send us an email and we will try to accomodate you. We only have a very limited supply since it takes a lot of chilis to make one jar of powder.
