August heat brings peppers sweet!

Posted on August 27th, 2022 by Brittany Reardon

This week's farm note is all about one of my favorite vegetables of the summer: PEPPERS!

End of August is pepper time, it's when all the sweet peppers are turning color and are ripe for raw eating, cooking or preserving for colder months. We have 1/2 bushel boxes of peppers available for your preservation projects, and lots of ideas below for how to use them :)
