Rain, Bountiful Crops, and Special Treats for Father's Day! ?️???

Posted on June 16th, 2023 by Lynne Schultz

Dear valued CSA members,

As we gather here to celebrate Father's Day and reflect on the exciting developments at the farm, we couldn't be more thrilled to share the latest updates with all of you. It's been an eventful week filled with abundant rain showers, flourishing crops, and delightful surprises.

First and foremost, let's talk about the rain. We are overjoyed to report that our prayers for rainfall have been answered! Mother Nature bestowed upon us a generous amount of rain, rejuvenating our fields and quenching the thirst of our plants. This bountiful rainfall has breathed new life into our crops, allowing them to flourish and thrive. The vegetables are vibrant and bursting with flavor, and the fruits are ripening beautifully. We are truly grateful for this blessing from above.

In addition to our own produce, we have some exciting news to share about the arrival of peaches from our farmer friends in South Carolina. The luscious peaches they have cultivated with care and expertise are now making their way to our farm. Get ready to indulge in the juicy sweetness of these sun-kissed delights, as they will be available for you to savor in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for further updates on their availability and how you can enjoy these mouthwatering peaches.

Speaking of fruits, our blueberries are beginning to make their debut! These vibrant gems of summer are ripening on the bushes, filling the air with their sweet aroma. Soon, you'll have the opportunity to pick these delicious berries and enjoy their fresh, juicy goodness. Stay tuned for more information on when and where you can experience the joy of blueberry picking.

Now, let's turn our attention to this week's highlighted vegetable: our delectable salad mix. This refreshing combination of tender greens and crisp veggies is perfect for creating vibrant and nourishing salads. To elevate your salad game, here are a few salad dressing ideas to tantalize your taste buds:

Balsamic Vinaigrette: Whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and olive oil for a classic and tangy dressing that complements the fresh flavors of your salad mix.

Lemon Herb Dressing: Combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced herbs (such as basil, parsley, and thyme), honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper for a zesty and herbaceous dressing that adds brightness to your salad.

Creamy Avocado Dressing: Blend ripe avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a creamy and dreamy dressing that adds a velvety texture to your salad mix.

As we celebrate Father's Day this weekend, we want to extend our warmest wishes to all the dads out there. We appreciate the love, support, and guidance you provide to your families. May this day be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments shared with your loved ones.

On behalf of the Schultz Family and our entire farm team, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and membership in our CSA. Your trust and enthusiasm inspire us to cultivate the freshest produce and provide you with the best farm-to-table experience.

Wishing you a delightful week ahead, abundant in both culinary adventures and cherished memories. Happy Father's Day!

Warmest regards,

The Schultz Family
