Seasons Change: What’s Next?

The fallen leaves have been raked and added to the compost. The garden’s bounty has slowly changed into fall favorites including: carrots, leeks, fennel, mixed greens, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme.  As I reflect on this gardening season, I can say it was an enjoyable and rewarding experience.  The weather brought on challenges at times with it’s cooler temperatures and rain count.  Every challenge presents a learning experience, which allows us to gain valuable knowledge for our future.  I look forward to learning more with each garden.  With the season coming to an end, I ask what’s next?

I rely heavily on organic farmers during the months my garden is not producing.  I recently became a member of Farm Fresh Delivery, an organic produce and natural grocery company that delivers to your door (Indianapolis and Cincinnati).  They work directly with organic farmers, co-ops, and food makers to provide their members with the freshest organic produce, grown right here in the Midwest.

I am very excited about Farm Fresh Delivery’s mission and have had a wonderful experience. This is a great way to eat delicious and healthy food year round.  Supporting our local farmers and food makers helps to create a sustainable community and environment.  Check out their website and online grocery store at www.farmfreshdelivery.com
