Hello CSA Members!

We will have carrots, beets, and celery again this week. I love roasted beets and carrots with a dressing or dip as a simple side dish. Celery is a great addition to a stir fry. I put mine in a tuna salad and loved it. It’s refreshing and adds such a nice crunch. Check out our website if you haven’t already for tips on storing your celery!

Hello CSA Members!

It’s that time of the year where peppers are in abundance- sweet, spicy, and roasted peppers are all available at pick-up this week. My favorite ways to use peppers are in a stir fry, quesadillas, or roasted and blended into a sauce.

New this week: broccoli and cauliflower! Check out our delicious recipes on the website.

We have melons again this week. They are picked ripe in the field and are ready for you to eat! Make sure to refrigerate if you plan on not eating them right away.

Hello CSA Members!

It’s Week 11, which means we are already halfway through our CSA. Where does the time go? I’ve been loving to hear how you are using your veggies at CSA pick-ups and what your favorite parts of CSA have been.

Peppers and tomatoes are both ramping up, and eggplant is still going strong. Lately I’ve been loving fresh tomatoes on top of just about everything- quesadillas, pasta, sandwiches, or just on their own with a little salt and pepper. Peppers, especially shishitos, are one of my favorite veggies, and I love roasting or sauteing them in the cast iron with some olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 11:

Regular Share:
1 – Herb Choice or Hot Peppers or Squash Blossoms
2 – Onions
3 – Eggplant or Tomatillos
