This week we have a really nice varieity of vegetables which hit a wide range of flavors and textures. This week we had a large winter squash harvest, and we expect to do that every other week from now until frost. Our peppers are also starting to produce more, and the plants are loaded with small fruit. Our peppers got a late start because we lost a lot of seedlings back in March & April to a soilborne disease caused by too much moisture and too low of temperatures. Next year we’ll stage our seedlings differently to learn from this year’s setbacks. We really appreciate seeing and hearing how you’ve been using your CSA shares. Thank you and have a great week!

It is hard to believe we have reached the halfway point of our CSA program! We are very happy with the amount and variety of produce we’ve been able to include so far, and with the produce we have in the fields  for the rest of the season. Your membership in our CSA program greatly helps with our crop planning and financially keeps our farm going. Thank you! We cleared our kohlrabi crop so enjoy these veggies while they’re here. They have delicous flavor, especially when roasted to the point they begin browning. We really like the varieties we settled on because they maintain great flavor and texture despite the summer’s heat. Chinese cabbage is another very tasty member of the brassica family. We included a sauteed recipe below, but it’s also delicious fermented using the same technique as sauerkraut, or with additional spices using a kimchi recipe.
