Little City Gardens

Have you been wanting to get some canning or pickling in before the season’s over? Are you eager to preserve some of the summer’s bounty to be enjoyed during the wet, grey months ahead?

Now’s your chance! We planted a late season crop of green beans (and purple beans) this summer, and now that our CSA & farm stand are done for the year, we are finding ourselves with an abundance of beautiful, tender, juicy beans that are waiting to be harvested. So, we’d like to make them available to you. We’ll be taking orders every week; see below for details.

And perhaps even more excitingly, in order to keep prices down as much as we can, we’re also offering you the chance to come to the farm and harvest your own. This could be a great Fall activity to do with your favorite kid, or it could be your long-awaited chance to spend a little focused, quiet time outdoors at what we think is one of the most beautiful spots in the city. The details:

For pick up: Fridays 5-6pm in the Mission (email for details) — $2.50/lb
…..OR……
Harvest-your-own: Mondays/Wednesdays (12-4pm) — $1.50/lb

Pickled green beans are delicious and so easy to make, whether you preserve them or just keep them as refrigerator pickles (see here, here and here for different recipe ideas). Send us an email at littlecitygardens@gmail.com if you’d like to place a Friday order (please get your orders in by Wednesday evening and we’ll send you a confirmation email with pickup details) or if you’d like to set up a time to come to the farm to harvest-your-own. Offer good October 24th – mid November or so (or until bean production slows down).
