WEEK 15

Week of August 17 & August 20

Greeting CSA Friends!

We hope that everyone is having a wonderful "Back to School" week. For me this means back to work which is always an adjustment and this year it will be a little more difficult. However, I'm learning that this is my new normal- the grieving journey is a difficult and consuming process. We really thank all of you for the support throughout the first half of the season. We have a wonderful group of CSAers!

Remember to get your veggies at Kathy and Joe's House this week- stay for a swim and potluck dinner if you can! They live at 201 N. Lark in Carbondale.

I love to see the Winter Squash coming out of the fields because it means that Fall is right around the corner! The heat is a little more reasonable these past few days which makes working in the fields a lot nicer.

We hope that you have a great week!

Take care,
Anne and Adam


This week you will find:

Winter Squash: Delecata- delicious!

Mini pumpkins- a cute a yummy way to make a meal

Long Pie Pumpkins- these are an old time favorite that we decided to try this year. We baked one the other day and it is out of this world.

Acorn- a standard in our garden and our dinner menu

Remember to eat the flesh and roast the seeds!

Cucumbers
Peppers
Garlic
Tomatoes
Basil- We have been forgetting to bring this with us the past couple of weeks. We pick and put it in a few vases on the counter to keep it cool and crisp until it is time to go into Carbondale and then forget to bring it with us. We are so sorry. We have tons of basil if anyone would like an extra large bunch to make pesto- just let us know and we will bring it to the next delivery. We like to make and freeze tons of pesto to have a healthy "fast" food in the winter.

I'm out of time right now, but I will post some recipes tomorrow.
