MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 48/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
After a restful long weekend, our small-but-mighty winter crew will be back in the fields this week to harvest, pack boxes, and to dig our many beds of fall/winter carrots for long-term storage. As winter approaches, each cold spell works a kind of magic, triggering these carrots to convert starches to sugar and making them ever-sweeter. We harvest en masse, storing them in our coolers caked in a protective layer of dirt that locks moisture in and keeps them crunchy. We’ll keep them squirreled away for the season, washing as needed to fill your boxes. If you’ve ever wondered what the secret is to perfect carrots, there you go - water, sun, luck, and cold days and nights! Enjoy your boxes this week and this incredible weather we’ve been having.

Mark your calendars! We take a Farm Vacation from December 18th - January 2nd, 2022 and do not deliver during those weeks.
