Hi folks,
It’s all so fine now I’ve got to tell the tale. Feast. Feast on late summer bounty. Autumn is almost here. This is when we make festivals of harvest. So many things that are rich and sweet come ripe now. Beautifully flavored tomatoes, green beans, and sweet corn. Dark Poblano peppers and Pimientas de Padron. Sweet little Pixie Cantaloupes and Golden Dews and Canary Melons. Vibrant Nappa cabbage, Baby Bok, Collards and Mustards and Kales and Chards. Salad tasting of long summer with Frisee and Radicchio. Fat Red Beets. White carrots two fingers thick and still sweet. New Yukon Gold potatoes and Chieftain Reds. Last Friday I saw a sample dig of Ozettes. They’re stunning. Even in this economy we’ll charge a strong price on these. Great heritage and nutty flavor and fine-grained texture and skin that roasts to perfection. There will be Larattes and Colorado Rose and Peruvian Purples and more. All the spuds look to be the best Full Circle has grown. All the tomatoes look to be the best Full Circle has grown by leaps and bounds. Great, great food folks. But the Parsnips are almost ready, too. In 12 weeks you may already miss the light.
Time to fatten up for winter.
Feast now.
Best regards,
