Volunteer Days

Since we have changed our harvest day we would prefer help on the farm on Tuesday and Friday if you want to come out. We start working around 7:30 and work until lunch. Call if you would like to come out another day to make sure we will be there.
Thanks!

2nd Delivery

I hope that this week was nice for everyone and the heat wasn't too much! This week we changed the delivery days and I hope that everyone is happy with their new day. Let me know otherwise.

Today (Tuesday 5-25) and Friday 5- 28 delivery will include:

Garlic Scapes (Chop finely and use as you would garlic)
Lettuce
Sugar Snap Peas
Beets and beet greens (my favorite green)
parsley
sage
oregano
mint
dill
cilantro

I'm still working on adding a spot to upload recipes attachments- I think I will be able to by next delivery.

Recipes

Adam's Dressing

equal amounts of Olive Oil and Vinegar of your choice
garlice scapes
teaspoon of honey or brown sugar
herb of your choice dill, cilantro or oregano ( or any combination)
dash of hot pepper (optional)

Put it all in your food processor and blend until rich and smooth.
I like to mix with plain yogurt in my own salad bowl. Mix on lettuce or dip sugar snap peas- delicious!

Beet Greens
Cut and clean greens with stems
oil
garlic scapes chop finely
2-3 T vinegar of choice (we like balsamic)
1 T Tamari or soy sauce


1 T oil of your choice in Wok
When hot add beet greens and garlic scapes
cook for a 2-3 minutes add garlic scapes, vinegar and tamari
Cover and remove from heat

Serve with brown basmati rice

Beets
Thinly sliced beets (cut off rough skin)
1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey
vinegar of choice

Put beets in a sauce pan with enough liquid (half vinegar and half water) to cover all the beets add sugar or honey and simmer until fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy on rice!

Delivery 1

Delivery 1: May 19 and May 22

This week's weeks delivery:

Lettuces: several different varieties
Spinach
Cilantro
Dill
Mint

Enjoy many delicious salads this week!!

Reminder: The deliveries are on a bell curve averaging out to 3/4 of a bushel of the weekly harvest. The spring radishes have come and gone (sorry).

We are deeply moved by the overwhelming support of our CSA members and greatly appreciate your patience as we wade through our grief. One thing that has brought us some peace during this difficult time is working in the garden with our friends and family. If you are interested in volunteering on the farm- groups are coming out on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Bring your family for a day of weeding and enjoying the farm.
We hope the lettuce nourishes your body and soul as it was one of the last things Delia helped plant.
