Farm Happening (7th DELIVERY SUMMER)

Posted on July 10th, 2019 by Diane Riehm
You know that feeling that you get when you want to do a happy dance? 

Well, your farmers got that jig in our steps the other day. 

Jacquelyn a TV star, from the Great Food Truck Race came to select veggies from PRFarm fields the other day.  

Jacquelyn is in the "beach episodes" that just ran on the FoodNetwork (see it here)

Her food truck, "Sol Food Collective" lost by only $1. 

That is a story in in it's self because both her co-workers had to leave on the last episode. 

This left Jacquelyn to do the race all by herself that day. 

I'm starting to feel like a foodie. 

Hope you are too!

"ADD-ON" FRUIT SHARES, JULY 15 - JULY 20

 



Eating with the seasons is In-creditable!  

Just about the time you are starting to get tired of one fruit... 

Another one starts to produce. 

Changing up the vitamins and flavors that we are receiving.

Farmer's choice - Raspberry/blueberry/maybe cherry



[RPFarm EXTRAS FOR PURCHASE]



Kohlrabi is the affordable veggie for those who want to boost your health and wellness!!

We have a customer at the roadside stand who buys 7-8 kohlrabi weekly. 

He shares them with his friends at work who deal with high blood pressure. 

He tells us story after story of how the doctors have taken several folks off their medicine. 

I believe these people eat some kohlrabi regularly. 

A quick search shows the 
Health Benefits of Kohlrabi
  • Aids the digestive system.
  • Promotes eye health.
  • May help in the fight against cancer.
  • Supports nerve and muscle function.
  • Reduce the risk of diabetes by helping with weight loss.
Include them in your RPFarm's CSA Weekly Veggie Box!

CSA Weekly Veggie Box members offer their delicious recipes: 



Do you want recipes, cooking ideas and answers to "what do I do with a particular veggie?"

Join these closed Facebook Groups?

 * You can join RPFarm's private group which is small but personal.

Besides it's way more fun to be in a community than in the 4-corners of a store!

We told you last week about one of the recipients who is impoverished and is eating healthy choices this year!! 

The SECOND person to eat with us for 20 weeks is a middle aged women and is the provider for her grandchildren. 

Often she is found in her kitchen cooking up something for them along with several other impoverished children in the community as well.  

Without the donations that were made earlier by our CSA members they would not be able to make the choice to eat fresh farm foods.

P.S.  I'll tell you about another family next week!
