CSA summer bounty, week 3
We are delighted with the boxes that we are able to put together for you this week and we hope that you will be too. We really appreciate the feedback that you have given us and are cutting back on the greens in the smalls this week and upping the other produce. We have more gorgeous tomatoes this week and basil for everyone.
Try our caprese salad recipe for a classic pairing of these two. Our other two recipes are from your fellow CSA customers. Try Marjorie's parsley pesto or Karen's corn salad recipe. Do you have a favorite summer recipe that you would like to share with us?
Yep, thats right more corn this week. The ears may not be as pretty this week, but they are so sweet! The corn plants on our last four seedings suffered during transplant and the plants are stunted so their ears are not as long and full. The flavor, however, is outstanding. Our slicing cucumbers are kind of curvy but really tasty. Best of all, we have the eagerly awaited melons from Tonnemakers. They are providing us with French Orange melons, the cadallac of cantaloupes. When the outer rind of these melons are soft yellow with not more than the faintest smidgen of green, they are absolutely incredible. They are a small melons, about the size of a large softball. A melon half makes a juicy and delicious breakfast.
