Dear CSA Member, Maybe a little rain this week... we are dealing with another dry year so far here on the farm. But, we would prefer that over too much rain. We are conscientiously irrigating the crops that need it the most. Farmer Pete is very mindful of what needs water the most to reserve the water supply. Considering the lack of rain the crops are doing well. You can see the size of those lettuce heads! New in your shares this week Kohlrabi and escarole! Kohlrabi is a sweet vegetable you can use for a coleslaw, shaved and placed on a regular green salad or you can roast it. There are plenty of ways to use kohlrabi (click for more recipes). The escarole is a green that is typically used in Italian cooking. One of the top ways it is prepared is in a white bean soup that is just delicious. But, if it's too how for soup try just simply sauteeing it with some fresh mushrooms! Enjoy this week's harvest! Sincerely, Candice for Everyone at Stoneledge Farm

This week is a coffee & dry bean share week for the month of July. If you have these items ordered please don't forget to pick them up at the site.
