Summer CSA Week 1 Revised

One of the key benefits of a CSA from a small farm, is that you get to KNOW the people that grow your food. Willie Green's is a family farm of internetworked families where everyone can have several hats to wear. When illness or tragedy raises its ugly head, we all have to work harder to fill in the gaps until we have our family back and complete again. Please accept our apologies if some of the admin pieces are a little slow this week, as I am recovering and Heidi is out of town for a family funeral. Everyone is focused on making sure that you receive your boxes of high quality late spring produce. We have been able to revise the traditional box crop lists a bit to provide a delicious assortment of greens and root vegetables. If the sun holds we will be able to provide more summer-style crops next week.

In the meantime, enjoy our crisp and colorful Romaine Mix. We blend heirloom Romaine and regular Romaine lettuces for a beautiful combination. Try Jeff's own Caesar Salad Dressing on it this week for a delicious salad. The baby spinach this week is exceptionally tender. Great in salads, it is also delicious in sandwiches, wraps and anywhere else you want a touch of color and flavor. Everyone is getting a colorful assortment of root vegetables this week. While delicious raw as a snack or in salads, they are also tasty glazed. Now to many, radishes are something that add color to the greens, end of story, but not if your name is Molly. Molly writes an award winning blog called Orangette that is amazing, her love affair with food is inspiring and she can write about a radish like no one else. Here is one of her recent radish salads. DId I mention she is a Willie Green's customer? :-) Medium and Large shares will also enjoy the Russian Kale this week. If you are new to kale, try it with any potato dish from scalloped potatoes to mashed to potato salad. This type of kale is mild enough to be eaten raw or it can be cooked.

Enjoy!
