Produce

Harecrest Acres wildflower honey from Biddeford, ME. 3# containers only. This is the last batch until fall of 2010.
This honey is a blend of early (pale) and late (dark) honey, with a complex flavor. This honey features evergreen overtones, which give way to a long palate of wildflowers, ending in a breath of beach roses. We feel it would be wasted in tea, and featured it this past January with chef Pierre Gignac's recipe for a praline-crusted cheesecake made with Heart Song Farm chevre.

Greens: 2010 Growing Season - produce deliveries began mid-to-late June.

Update: Arugula is making it's fall return, salad-sized, as we've harvested the braising-sized crop. Chard keeps coming on, we've waves of it planted. If you have tried chard and don't like it - give ours a whirl. Ask for a sample pound, and preparation suggestions. While not quite ready - we've planted various Choi and other greens for the fall. Eggplant: Few, but finally coming on. Hot peppers - if we avoid frost/cold damage, we may see a harvest of scorchingly hot peppers. I'm stumped - as are others, as to why these heat-loving varieties just grew taller, and didn't flower through the 100 degree days. Once cool weather appeared - flowers and fruit. Tobago seasoning, Serrano del Sol and other varieties are showing plenty of unripe fruits - stay tuned.

Tomatoes: Some would say they were devilishly good. (see photo left)
Would you believe we had so many this year, that chefs could be picky? Yeah - not that one, it has a dent. Dude! Last year, I could have run it over with the truck, and you'd spatula it up... but that was last year.
So for those of you, who grow tired of endless tomatoes - they're going to end and promptly. We probably are on the last of the last in the coming week. Certainly no more after the 30th of September. If you plan on putting any away for sauce/freezing - let me know you're seeking scratch-n-dents... we'll work a deal.

Fruit

Peach season has ended - they are an August crop afterall, same for the Melons.
Apples: We'll start delivering culinary and classic apple varieties this week. Some apples will be in very short supply due to the late frosts that killed-off the blooms, and the drought. We've first-dibs on most culinary apples, though there's an even-chance that you'll get a one-shot chance at the more obscure varietals.

Ordering

Orders must be placed by end-of-day Sunday for delivery the following Thursday.

Terms
