It’s fall, y’all! Well not technically, but you would definitely think it is either all of the wonderful fall crops we have now. Our fall crop Bradford collards are in. Lots of fall squashes like the amazing Blue Hubbards and Cushaws. Butternut types like Autumn Frost and Honeynuts. Chef classics like Delicatas and Acorns. Bolero carrots from Clem’s Organic is back in. Fall crop broccoli, and amazing organic Arugula from Wild Hope Farms! Crisp Fuji apples and Ginger Golds from Lively Orchards. Much, much more fall crops to come too! Excited for the cooler weather an looking forward to a flavorful fall!
Important notes!
-
Clem’s Butterbaby squash is sold out for the season, unfortunately their second planting was wiped out due to heavy rains they received over the last couple weeks. We are pivoting now to the honeynut squash as a direct substitute. Similar in flavor, size and texture! We are also fortunate now to be offering several squash varieties for you to choose from as you consider your favorite substitutes for the butterbabies. See the list at the bottom for the full fall squash offering!

Also, as Clem’s butterbabies are out- in comes his new fall crop of ornage carrots! Mountain sweetness with a nice crisp texture and, of course, unbeatable flavor!
⚠️ **Highlights of the week**⚠️
NEW! Fresh Arugula - Wild Hope Farm
Peppery, vibrant arugula harvested fresh from Wild Hope Farm. Tender leaves with a sharp, clean bite—perfect for salads, garnish, or adding brightness to hot dishes.
Offering in 5# boxes!
NEW! Blue Hubbard Squash
Blue Hubbard squash is a large, winter squash variety known for its thick, bumpy skin and vibrant blue-green color. Its orange to golden-yellow flesh is dense, fine-grained, and holds a large cavity filled with pulp and cream-colored seeds. It’s great for fall soups and bisques or for roasting with other fall root crops and veggies. They can get pretty big too and range in size a lot. We pack them in roughly 30# cases.
Honeynut Squash
We’re excited to welcome honeynut squash into the mix this week! Honeynuts share a lot in common with the beloved Butterbaby squash from Clem’s—both are petite, flavorful relatives of butternut with a naturally sweet, rich flesh and tender skin.
While Clem’s Butterbaby season has come to a close (with their second planting unfortunately lost to the heavy rains they received last week), honeynuts step in as a near-perfect match. They roast beautifully, caramelize deeply, and bring that same concentrated squash flavor chefs love in a smaller, convenient size.
We also have Autumn Frost butternuts that can be used similarly as well!
