Good morning!

For everyone who enjoyed the taste of those delicious blueberries in your share a few weeks ago, I thought you might enjoy reading a short article I recently read about a study about how supplementing the diet of middle age people with blueberries, may lower the risk of developing late-life dementia. Prior to this, studies have focused on much older people. Here is the link to the article written by Alison Bosman from Earth.com  The research study was conducted at the University of Cincinnati by Dr. Robert Krikorian.   https://www.earth.com/news/blueberries-may-protect-our-brains-against-dementia/

What’s in my CSA share this week? Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Onions, Summer squash, Okra, Spaghetti squash, Zucchini, Peppers, and new crop Sweet Potatoes! Didn’t have much Eggplant this week-but there may be enough for the Large shares since there are fewer of those.

The Fruit Share this week: “Jonna Gold” Apples.  Just picked at the orchard!  Combo Shares: “Jonna Gold” Apples

Fall of the year is upon us now as evidenced by the seasonal Winter squash and Sweet potatoes showing up in shares this week. Eating seasonally is what our CSA is all about! Eating the foods your body needs and craves to build up your immune system for the coming cooler weather is much easier in CSA. We hope you are enjoying your shares this season.

Since it’s Tuesday and the news is late, I’ll end right here this week. We hope you enjoyed your Labor Day holiday!

Until next week,

‘Judy
