Farm Happening (5th DELIVERY SUMMER)

Posted on June 24th, 2020 by Diane Riehm

Garlic scape season is very short, so enjoy them while you can! This is possibly the last week for them!

You'll want to chop them up and put them in the freezer for later because they are SO GOOD. 

Scapes are very versatile and can be used just like garlic in recipes. Try them in a sauté, roasted, pickled, added to soups, and more. The possibilities are endless...

Do you hate hand-washing big items that don't fit in your dishwasher? So do we! Watch to see how we overcome this obstacle on the farm. 



So... many GREAT ways to prepare squash! 

To take a great quote from Forrest Gump about shrimp that also applies to squash "Anyway, like I was sayin', You can grill it, steam it, shred it on salad. There's uh, kabobs, casseroles, pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.
That- that's about it."

You guys are the best!!!
 Thanks to your generosity in donating CSA shares, we have 6 homes able to receive 20 weekly veggie bags this summer from our "Donation Add-ons"! 


* Our third family is a mom currently raising 4 of her grandchildren. She is a full-time Community Health worker where she helps pregnant women and new moms receive necessary care and assistance. This "superwoman" is an inspiration and her husband is a chef, so the CSA share will be well used in her household.
