Farm Happenings for June 30, 2021

Posted on June 27th, 2021 by Sheila Dicks

 

 

 

Summer is in full swing which means plenty of tomatoes, peppers and those beautiful eggplants! Part of the joy and sometimes the over plentiful of certain veggies of a CSA is eating seasonal and what is producing at the time of delivery! Greens like spinach, arugula, lettuce and asian greens are really hard or impossible to grow in our intense heat of the summer. We will have all of the above items again in our Fall CSA and I will be sending out a email about Fall really soon. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering what to do with our eggplant so I have included one of my favorite ways to use eggplant via a dip. It would make a great addition to your 4th of July celebration. https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-baba-ghanoush-smoky-eggplant-dip-30084

Another favorite of summer is fresh corn! This weeks share will include straight from the field sweet corn from Randle Farm . If you've only had store bought corn you are going to be in for a treat. The taste is amazing, also since this corn was grown organically you need to be prepared to possible find a worm in the tip or under the shuck. We are including an extra cob to each order just in case there is a some major damage on any. 

Wishing you all a healthy and safe 4th of July and thank you for supporting our small farm and other local producers.

Your farmers,

Jim, Sheila and Andy
