There is some great spinach available at the farm right now. Some of the leaves are huge. I can't keep up with harvesting it, but they are still so tender and can be used for salad or cooking.

I harvested the last crops of the season this weekend. Some of these vegetables will not store well and need to go quickly, but some I will be storing in our basement/root cellar for the winter (onions and potatoes). Please feel free to contact throughout the winter for onions and potatoes. We have available: Mixed Greens De Padron Hot Chili Peppers Antohi Yellow Sweet Peppers Italian Frying Peppers (Carmens and Jimmy Nardellos) Sweet Bell Peppers Italian Eggplant Ping Tung Eggplant Small Hot Peppers (Hungarian Hot Wax, Jalapeno, Red Cayenne, Yellow Wenks, Small Pablanos) Tomatillos Turnips Kale Onions (Chipollinis, Yellow Storage, and 4 Bushels of Red Onions) Potatoes (La Ratte fingerlings, Kennebec, and Green Mountain) Herbs (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, and Mint) Please let me know ahead of time, when you can stop by, so I will have the food ready for you and to make sure that I will be home. Thanks, Audrey Gerkin Love this description of the De Padron Pepper from Kitchen Garden Seeds: This prized Spanish heirloom is setting the culinary world of tapas on fire. Often referred to as “Spanish Roulette”, one out of five peppers may be extremely hot. De Padrón yields thin-walled, conical 1” by 3” fruits with a normal Scoville heat index of 500 although the odd one will stun you with up to 25,000 heat units! The plants grow from 18” to 24” tall, yielding an abundant profusion of that mature from green hot chile peppers that mature to red. Normally picked when green, De Padrón is so popular that there is a whole festival held in its honor each year in Padrón, Spain. For your own tapas party, fry whole green De Padrón in olive oil until white blisters appear. Drain on paper towels and season with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Holding the stem, eat whole with a cool beer! (OP.) Another great Kitchen Garden Seeds description:
These attractive, slender rosy-mauve fruits grow on foot high, disease-resistant plants. Ping Tung is named for its native town in Taiwan. Harvest at 8” to 10”, when it is perfect for stir-fries and heavenly in Thai-style red curry. You’ll need red curry paste (available at Asian groceries or gourmet markets), a few perfect Ping Tung, a can of coconut milk, boneless chicken and cilantro to garnish. Don’t use alot of curry paste unless you like it HOT. Serve atop fragrant jasmine rice. (OP.) Pickpocket Farm has lots of vegetables for sale now. The onslaught of summer vegetables is definitely here. We still have pickling cucumbers, and slicing cucumbers. The tomatoes are just now coming in, and they look beautiful. Check out the pictures below to see what our family has done with some of the excess. I finally got to make pickles for the family and they should last the year. We will have a supply of bread and butter, kosher dill, and spicy garlic dill. The fridge is filled with 6 jars (I mean 4 jars now) of refrigerator pickles. Here's a couple of summer pizzas we made with our veggies. YUM! Into the oven they go! On the really hot days, you can just put your pizza stone on the grill and keep the heat outside.
