Summer CSA week 5

6/29/2016

0 Comments

 
    As stated earlier in the first newsletter, this week started out very hectic and we did not have  the time to get to the newsletter until now, Wed morning before the market. 

  We got a good rain, which the plants all needed but set us back on the harvest Monday. The kids are done with school, so there's been all that running around, and we were readying some guest accommodations for an organic  farmer from Florida who will be staying with us for a couple weeks  to do some work, and hopefully learn from one another. So it started out a busier week than usual. We will be back on track next Monday evening with the newsletters. 

  This was a week of many greens, and I'm sure many of you might be wondering what some of them are. 

This week's shares are as follows:

Small: mustard greens, kale, lettuce, garlic scapes, chives

Regular: mustard greens, kale, swiss chard, lettuce, arugula, dandelion greens, braising  mix, lettuce, garlic scapes and mixed Italian herbs.

It's looking like we will have summer squash for everyone by next week, more radishes and broccoli as well.

I will post some recipe ideas later today after the market, so in the meantime I hope everyone can find some recipes they like.  We will also be adding a few items for special order on the website in the next couple days. We will be sending out an email to members explaining how to utilize the online store shortly once  we've gotten it updated.
