We hope everyone enjoyed their shares last week. We weren't able to get enough snow peas for all small share members last week, but will this week, and will switch to large shares the following week. Also small shares will get strawberries this week.
Last week's rainfall yielded 2.5 inches of rain, quenching thirsty roots, and relieving the heat, and now many crops are really taking off!
This week we will be harvesting the following:
lettuce
kale
swiss chard
radishes (french breakfast and easter egg varieties)
hakurei turnips (small tender salad turnips) and/ or turnip greens.
basil,
bunching onions
snow peas
and Tat soi (and asian green similar to pac choi)
Summer squash is still tiny, but will likely start getting picked next week!
It was brought to our attention this week that there were a few mishaps at several of our drop sites resulting in some food being missing, shares not picked up etc. It is the responsibility of members to be sure to pick up their shares on their designated days. Again, if you cannot get there please let either your pod leader or myself know. The only exception is on farm, where food can be stored in the cooler until you can get there, although the barn does usually get locked up after 6pm most nights other than Thursdays when it remains unlocked for customer pickups. While we try to do right in certain situations to ensure folks get their food that goes missing or rots due to not being picked up, we cannot do this every time, as it wastes food, money, and time.
We value being able to offer diverse CSA Drop Sites throughout the area, however when food needs to be replaced for whatever reason, that value decreases. Please work together at your pod to make sure things go smoothly.
We will be at the Rome and Oswego Markets this week, back on schedule from lasts week's interlude.

This week's recipe is for radish salad. Most folks use radishes to add to a green based salad, but this spicy dish, and many others I found at www.yummly.com use radishes as the base. Try throwing some turnips into the mix too.

Serves 4 as a side salad
Simple and savory, and beats firing up the oven for roasted radishes I keep hearing folks rave about. They are great roasted, but I am trying to keep things cool in my house lately as I'm sure many of you are!
With our computer awaiting repair, using a borrowed computer to write this I will keep it short and simple this week. CSA-CNY's monthly meeting has been rescheduled for tomorrow the 1st of July at 7 pm at the Friends Meeting House on Euclid Ave in Syracuse. Going forward (at least until the end of the Farmer's market season) meetings will be held the first Tuesday of every month. We will likely be planning for the upcoming open house, so if you have any ideas or concerns to share, this would be the time and place to do so!
Hope everyone enjoys their Fourth of July this week and gets to share some good food with family and freinds from their CSA share!

Serves 4 as a side salad
- 1bunch radishes, sliced thin
- 1/4cup feta, crumbled
- 2tablespoons olive oil
- 3tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3green onion, chopped into thin slices
- Toss everything together in a bowl. Because I love things puckery, and I know many don’t, my advice is to start with 2 Tablespoons of vinegar, give it a taste, and add more if you think it’s necessary. As a side, this salad serves 4, although I’ve taken to eating it as a main dish.
