News from the Field
How are you enjoying the bounty of vegetables? Are you able to keep up with them all? It is amazing how fast they can disappear when you are munching on raw carrots, peas, cukes and even broccoli and zucchini as snacks. It also helps to keep those calories down, too. They all taste delicious with dip. And it's a great way to get the kids to eat them.
Don't forget to make "Kale Chips" as it's a great way to eat those healthy greens and still get some crunch.
The tomatoes are so terrific that Farmer Joe can often be found in the store with a fresh tomato in hand eating it like an apple. I like to enjoy a tomato sandwich on toast with a slice of cheese.
Please enjoy your fresh organic vegetables!- Anne Tisbert
