Farm Happenings for July 13, 2020

Posted on July 10th, 2020 by Joan Norman

Welcome to week 6 of the CSA! We are slowly toeing our way into the summer crops this week, and still playing catch-up from all of the cold weather that we had back in May. New items this week include Japanese eggplant, leeks, cauliflower, and tomatillos. We love taking thinly sliced leeks and sautéing them with butter, salt, and pepper until golden and tender. It's a nice quick side dish that is perfect for hot summer evenings when you don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. Leeks are also great in vichyssoise. Don't let the name fool you - this is an incredibly easy soup to put together and it is served chilled so it makes a nice refreshing change of pace for summer dinners.
