Dear KCSA community,
One day some farmers sowed some turnip seeds. Using a notoriously finicky seeder and a recently purchased turnip seed roller, the drop rate ended up being a little inconsistent, leaving small gaps in the rows between the turnips. Nevertheless, the seeds that were sown, grew…were hoed…then grew and grew until they reached the right size for harvest.
After all the white Hakurei salad turnips were harvested for the CSA, the farmer moved onto harvesting the scarlet Hirosaki salad turnips. Now, having been sown at the same time and with only a few extra days maturity time between them, the Hiroskai turnips grew…and grew and grew even more…until some were enormous!
The farmers went to harvest one of these enormous turnips. They pulled and pulled and pulled, but the turnips would not budge. So, they called Assistant Manager Becky to give them a hand. Together, they pulled and pulled and pulled. Still, the turnip would not budge.
WHAT'S IN THE SHARES THIS WEEK!
LETTUCE, TURNIPS, DILL SWISS CHARD, COLLARDS, BROCCOLI, SCALLIONS, BOK CHOY, EGGPLANT, PEPPERS, TOMATOES, & BUTTERNUT SQUASH
U-PICK:
CHERRY TOMATOES, HOT PEPPERS, SHISHITO PEPPERS, FLOWERS, & HERBS.
After a while, they shouted to this season's crew to give them a hand. Together, the farmers, Becky, Mandi, both Sara’s, Miriam, Leo, Jake and Dana all pulled and pulled and pulled. Still, the turnip would not budge. The farmers then called the workshares: Line, Renee, Carrie, Coleen, Isabella, Al, Ashlie, Mary and Kathy for help. All together they pulled, and pulled and pulled, but the turnips would simply not budge.
Finally, they called KCSA's apiarist friends Erik and Emmett, and birder friends Marylin and Gretchen. Together they all pulled and pulled and pulled, until…POP…out came the turnip. The farmers were very pleased and invited everyone round for a turnip dinner.
Thank you!
Andrew
