CSA Week Seven

News from the field:
The hail storm was definitely a bummer. The mesclun was flattened so no leafy greens this week or next. However, this comes at the best possible time in many ways. Lots of folks have salad in their gardens, and I expect other vendors at market will have lots of salad as well. And we are getting into the height of the season and so we have plenty of awesome veggies to make a great basket for you!!
The bounty of the season also helps to distract us from the losses from the storm. We have 180 pounds of tomatoes for Wednesday market. That is huge for us! And they are delicious, red, juicy, perfect tomatoes that will bring happiness to many tables tomorrow night!!
In the Basket:
New this week: Cabbage and green beans!
Seasonal visitors: Yukon gold potatoes, colored pepper, carrots, broccoli.
Basket staples: Cucumbers and tomatoes.
Good eating to you!!
