2nd CSA Harvest/s


This week CSA participants can expect the following:
1 bunch Red Russian Kale - jagged leafs with redish hue-
1 bunch of Collards- rounded green leafs
1 bag of baby Salad Mix- about a half pound
1 bag of Arugula -about a half pound-this can be eaten raw as a spicy salad by itself or you can combine it with the salad mix.
1 bunch of Turnips
1 bunch of Radishes
1 bunch of Spring Onions
Garlic Scapes
1 box of "conventional" Strawberries (from Butlers Orchard). If you would like more strawberries we suggest that you add some time to your trip and go over to Butlers and pick as many as you like. This may very well be the end of the strawberry season. We can give you directions when you pick your vegetables up.

In the Pick Your Own (PYO) garden we will have dill, snapdragon and straw flowers. We will need to give the oregano and thyme a rest this week.

We will have recipes again this week in the printed newsletter and an update on whats happening in the fields. Its been a busy week as we harvest, plant and try to keep ahead of the weeds. The growers were laying out tomatoe stakes today and we will begin stringing those plants on Wednesday- weather permitting.

If you wish to make a comment- please click on the light blue “comments” link just below this post. A window will open and you can see a text box in the upper right corner- the curser should already be there. Your comments are very helpful to us.
Thank you and enjoy- WW
