This week we included winter squash for the first time this year. The Delicata squash in the bag has been a favorite with many CSA members in the past. It is called Delicata because it has a delicate skin that you don’t have to peel. We coated it with honey and grilled it in the recipes this week. Also making an appearance for the first time is Asian eggplant. This was used in a delicious stir fry with the collard greens and peppers. We’ve had a busy week as we’re always thinking one season ahead- we’ve been seeding and transplanting tray after tray of fall and winter vegetables.  We hope you enjoy the share this week!

With so much going on at the farm, the zucchini got away from us a little this week, so there are some rather large zucchini in the bag which are perfect for zucchini fritters (recipe below), zoodles, or simply sauteed. We also included the first of our heirloom tomatoes in the bag this week. We used them in a BLT but they would be great sliced with a little salt and pepper as well. Our summer vegetables are in full swing, and we’re spending our days making sure everything is staying properly irrigated so fruit quality stays high. We hope everyone enjoys the veggies this week. Thank you all for supporting us and our farm, and do a rain dance for us!
