CSA Week 16

Posted on August 8th, 2020 by Trish Cirelli

CSA Week 16 might need to be referred to as The Week of the Tomato! 
This week we will have plenty of tomatoes in the shares, and more delicious melons and a long list of items for swapping and adding on!
I hope that everyone made it through the storm safely and things are settling a bit after the power outages and road closures over the past few days! We’re excited to share so many delicious summer items this week with all of you- tomatoes, summer squash, melons, peppers, eggplant, and so much more!


We’re also including an unusual veggie- kohlrabi! Many of our members have tried this vegetable over the years, but for those of you that haven’t- you’re in for a treat! It’s a fun, “alien-looking” and delicious veggie that I’m sure you’ll love. It can be used raw or cooked, stewed, roasted, stir-fried, shredded, or sliced... so many fun ideas that we’ll share this week for you all to enjoy.

We have a huge index of recipes that we’ve added over the course of many seasons and some of our favorites can be found here.
I hope you all enjoy this week's shares. If you ever need anything, please feel free to give us a call at 908-879-7189 and our team will be happy to help!
