Dear CSA Member,
This is the busiest time of year on the farm. The harvest is now well underway, transplanting seedlings for fall, tending the small plants in the greenhouses, and weeding away in the fields. We hope you have been enjoying the past week's bounty. Salad season comes and goes so quickly. Lettuces will not grow in the heat of the summer please, enjoy the lettuces while they last.
New in your shares this week will be Kohlrabi along with a few others. You should always peel your kohlrabi before preparing your meal. You can add Kohlrabi to soups, stews, roasted and steamed. Or, Try slicing the Kohlrabi and adding it raw to the salad. It is crispy and sweet when raw. It also makes a delicious slaw. Don’t forget to use the greens. The greens have a very similar taste to collard greens. Cook as you would any other leafy green.
Just a reminder that next TODAY is the last day to order fruit shares. If you wish to order a fruit share please log in to your member account to place your order. Click HERE to learn more about the fruit share.
Enjoy this weeks harvest!
