CSA Week Ten

News from the field:

Summer, sweet, sweet summer. We hope you are enjoying the melons, you will find two in your basket this week. Get them while the getting is good! The crows are getting their share too, but even they can’t keep up with Mother Nature’s bounty in melons!

Another new addition is sweet corn. Our two year old, Waverly, has already gotten the hang of eating it from the cob. Tomatoes and sweet sun golds are also in keeping with the sweet theme.

Otherwise, late season weeds are a bit of a problem, and there are 1,001 tasks to get ready for fall, but there is still some time to enjoy summer in all its glory. So enjoy!

In the Basket:

Green beans and cucumbers - Green and crunchy to round out the sweetness in the basket.

Broccoli - Peter’s Mom, Alice, is visiting this week. Alice recommends broccoli with garlic sautéed in butter and lemon.

Corn - Our first ever (except our family taste tests the past few days). We’re wicked excited! Enjoy!!

Dried garlic - The papery outside is dried and cured, but as you’ve probably found yourself, the cloves are still super moist and packed with flavor.

Melons – Ready to eat now -- don’t let them get too soft.

Sun golds and slicing tomatoes - We still can’t get enough of these. We hope it’s the same for you.

September CSA
We are again offering our September CSA. This is a good chance for people to try out CSA, and its also good for people who love the farmer’s markets, but whose September schedules make it harder to come. Four weeks of baskets for $75. In case you might know someone who might be interested, we’re including a flyer in your basket. We appreciate any referrals!
