We have a great week ahead of us! This week will feature the first round of sweet corn along with eggplant and peppers. We have two varieties of eggplant this week. Italian eggplant is the larger variety and is great for slicing into steaks for eggplant parmesan. Japanese eggplant is long and skinny and is great in a sauté or ratatouille - it has more skin to flesh so it has a nice texture when you chop it up and sauté it. We also have purple bell peppers on the list this week. These peppers are sweet and tender and are great raw on salad or served with hummus or dip. You can cook purple peppers but they will lose their deep purple color as soon as they get hot.

About the farm
One Straw Farm is a family owned and operated vegetable farm in Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. Lovingly tended by Drew and Joan Norman since 1983. One Straw Farm supplies families, restaurants and wholesalers with the finest produce. The goal of farming is more than simply growing a satiable crop, but also the responsibility of safeguarding the integrity of the land we cultivate. Each week we promise you a provision of sustainable produce with a responsible ecological footprint. We extend our value base into the creation of a strong relationship with our market customers and our members through interaction and communication on a daily basis. From our family to yours, we invite you to enjoy our gorgeous home-grown vegetables either through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
