Hello everyone!
Well, it's still almost too hot to sit under a laptop but it's a lot better than it was! The forecast is all sun this week. Hope you've all done ok in all this heat. Something we may, unfortunately, need to get used to.
The veggies have done ok during this time. Lots of crops are actually really taking off now: the heat lovers like squash, cucumber, eggplant, and peppers have shot up during this time mainly because we gave them lots of water. It's pretty nice to see!
We have much of the same items as last week, with more summer squash to go around, broccoli, and cabbages! And everyone's favourite veggie - fennel :P If you haven't loved fennel in the past, I hope you might try it again! I find it's one of those veggies that really needs to be paired well with complementary flavours. Or else...it really won't be that good :P I love fennel recipes with fish and tomato, like this one. They are a super way to eat fennel that isn't overpowering.
A reminder that we also have some other cuts of grass-fed beef from Hanceville Cattle Co. like tenderloin, NY, ribeye, and sirloin steaks, short ribs, and roasts. You can reply to this email if you want info/pricing on those! And we still have organically-fed eggs from Alexandria Springs Farm, and apple cider vinegar from Fraserbench Farm on the extras page as well.
Packing errors: a quick reminder that if you ever find something missing from your weekly share, please do let me know! And I will credit your account.
Thanks everyone. Let me know any questions, as always!
Your Farmer,
- Brianna
