Harvest Update

Fall is right around the corner and the Local Food Project crew is preparing for new crops of cool weather greens while continuing to harvest record yields of tomatoes. From meaty Brandywine to juicy Pineapple, prolific Virginia Select Roma to smoky Nyagous, the LFP crew has a lot of picking to do! Peppers are taking off and ripening up in the hoophouse—Corno di Toro, Lipstick, Joe’s Long Cayenne, Chocolate, and more. Other staples of the harvest include lots of Bright Lights Swiss chard, sweet storage onions, and a wide variety of summer squash. There’s also the first fringes of fall lettuce mix—perfect for pairing with summer’s last tomatoes! See more photos in our online album.
