Gideon at Atlas Farm called us today to let us know that there are no more heirloom tomatoes this season! If you had optimistically placed an order for this coming week, you won’t find any tomatoes in your box. But, some exciting new local add-on produce is on the horizon… Check out upcoming newsletters for details.

Our Tuesday customers have seen these in real life already, but we’ve got some fine cauliflower from Pedersen Farm in Seneca Castle, NY this week. And, the summer squash from Atlas Farm in South Deerfield has finally finished up with all the cold and cloudy weather. Our Local and All Veggie box customers will find Atlas’s Baby Bok Choy instead of zukes this Thursday and Friday!

Each year in recent memory, northeastern cucumber plants are slowed down and stopped around this time of the year by a particular type of water mould that causes downy mildew. This mould affects all cucurbits (including squash and melons) but the strain of the disease that we get in our area seems to affect mostly cucumbers. Our cukes, slicing and pickling, have been coming like gang-busters from Atlas Farms in South Deerfield, MA for most of the summer but with the cool weather this past week and the rise of the downy mildew, their plants are finally grinding to a halt. The mildew doesn’t affect the produce itself, just the plants, so Atlas pulled the final cukes they could get out of the field yesterday. We did get a moderately large shipment in from them so we’ll use up what we have, and for our customers with deliveries later in the week, you may find Atlas Farms green bell peppers or Lakeside Organics (of Hadley MA) carrots instead of cucumbers, depending on the type of box you receive.
