The taste of summer
Fresh corn for everyone this week! We worked really hard, babying our corn plants so we could give you an early taste of summer sweet corn this year. Our delicious Chiogga beets are here. These candy cane style beets are sweet and have a pretty red and white stripe when sliced. Try them in one of the soup recipes we have featured this week. The Chioggas make a lovely peachy colored and refreshing soup. Saute the beet greens and onion greens left over from the soup recipe for a nutritious side dish. One of our CSA customers also posted a really nice beet recipe awhile back. You can find it under the comments here. Thanks Linda!
As delicious as our raspberries are, we are giving you a break this week. Your fruit this week is Early Red Haven Peaches from Pipitone Organic Farms in Wenatchee. These juicy peaches are a semicling variety, great for fresh eating. Since the hail damaged much of our blueberries in May, production continues to be low. All medium shares will get blueberries this week, and small share customers get their turn next week.
Lots of nice bunched items this week, including carrots and bok choy to make one of Jeff's favorite recipes.
Small Shares:
1/2 lb salad, 1 bunch carrots, 1 bunch onions, 1 bunch beets, 1 bunch bok choy and 2 ears of sweet corn.
Medium Shares:
All of the above PLUS more salad mix, beets, carrots, peaches and corn. In addition, blueberries and head lettuce.
Large Shares:
All of the above MINUS the blueberries but PLUS more salad mix, lettuce, carrots, onions, beets, bok choy and corn. In addition, sugar snap peas and spinach.
