Independence, local abundance.
Summer days, fun in the sun, berries! Yes, the first raspberries are harvested and going in your box! Nothing beats fresh berries on everything! Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries soon. So sweet and delightful, like the long summer evening twilight. Sugar snap peas are also sweet and delightful, and here's a simple pea recipe. It's so nice to see a beautiful variety of produce coming from the fields. The following Quinoa saladis a great way to use any veggies you have on hand.
Such local abundance is good for so many people in so many ways. Delicious food grown close to home is very patriotic. Healthy local farms=homeland security! Growing our food locally means strong local economies, and less dependence on food from far-away lands. But you already knew that, that's why you support this wonderful CSA program! If you're going to a Bar-B-Que soon, and you need a big dish to share, try this bread salad. You can use whatever veggies you have a lot of, and it holds fairly well without refrigeration. You can brag to your friends, all of these veggies were grown within 50 miles of home!
