Last of the Summer CSA and Winter Session One

This is the last hurrah for the summer program and we have brimming boxes with some extras this week.

We have a sweet treat for you this week, organic hardy kiwis from Green Water Farm in Port Townsend. These olive size fruits taste like a cross between strawberries and bananas. Just pull off the stem and pop them into your mouth. Delicious!
Also, new this week is mache and daikon radish. Mache's mild flavor does best with a simple dressing of lemon juice or light vinaigrette. Daikon is usually sweeter than the red radish. It is very popular in Asian cooking, either raw in salads, pickled as a condiment or cooked in soups or stews. Try it peeled and grated raw on our salad mix or in our favorite carrot salad. We also have recipes this week for Brussel sprouts and celeriac. Celeriac mash is open to a great number of modifications, here is just one of ours.
All shares will also get a pumpkin! They are kind of big so plan accordingly.
