CSA Week Ten

News from the field:

Well, we have turned the corner and passed the half way mark of the CSA season. And right on cue, the seasons seem to be turning as well. Cooler nights and shorter days foreshadow the end of summer.

But the end is not here yet! This week the melons and corn make an appearance! And some celery, which is something we are trying for the first time this year. So enjoy what we have left of summer while you can!

In the Basket:

Charentais Melons!! They are mysteriously small, but still good. Sweet, complex, perfumed, firm, French. Enjoy.

Striped German tomatoes - This is a beautiful yellow and red streaked heirloom. I really love the regular red tomatoes we grow, but the Striped Germans (and the Moskvichs which were earlier in the season), I think do edge out the Buffalo on taste. Plus so gorgeous.

Celery - This is the first year we’ve done celery, let us know what you think!!

Familiar favorites: Sun golds, red leaf lettuce, garlic (2 heads), sweet onion (Alisa Craigs), Chard

Corn - Sweet summery golden goodness.

Broccoli - Two pounds this week. Pasta with broccoli recipe on the back.
