CSA Boxes and Recipes Session 3 Week 1
Welcome to session Three!
Summer is in full stride at the farm now as we are wrapping up some of the early summer crops and moving into the late summer crops. This week you get the first of our Romano Beans. These Italian green beans are tasty raw as a snack as well as cooked. Pair them with some of our sweet corn in my "Somewhat Succotash" recipe. This was a big hit at our house over the weekend. It is a colorful and delicious. Along with the Italian Romano Beans, the mediums and larges are receiving Italian cippilini onions as well. This is a prized coooking onion and it cooks up wonderful in Sweet & Sour Cipollini Onions. We also have a new green for you to try. Well it isn't actually new, our white chard is often part of our saute mix, but here is an opportunity to try it on its own. We are providing you with baby white chard leaves with tender stems. Chard can have a bit of a kick to it, kind of a spicy bite. While the farm geeks were cooking last night, Jeramie was glad that I warned him about the kick and ended up loving it. Try out his take on Pork with White Chard over Bowtie Pasta. We always welcome recipes from our customers, friends and co-workers!
We were very excited to bring you the first melons of our CSA share. Alas over the weekend, we learned that Tonnemakers would not have enough of their musk melons until next week. We have done some last minute scrambling of our box contents and have enough of the last of the July bearing raspberries for the large shares. The fall berries are a couple more weeks out, but we will have melons for everyone next week. Also look for vine ripened tomatoes next week as well. With that in mind, the boxes this week are little bit smaller in value so we can provide you more of the new crops in the coming weeks of the session.
