It seems we are having the best weather year. I can't remember us having one like this with just the right amounts of sunshine, rain, and warm days too. Of course this means that the plants are growing very nicely. It seems that the weeds are trying to compete with the plants and grow even faster.
We are ready to share our flowers, so this week all members will be receiving free flowers with their CSA. If you get your share delivered and are out for a drive stop by the farm and pick up your 4" pot or 6-pack of flowers.
Kale is new this week. Many of you have been patiently awaiting its arrival. Our favorite Kale Chips recipe is on the back. Kale is also great when thrown into soups like a veggie. Kale is one of the most nutritious foods for you. It can be tough if not cooked enough. Real experienced Kale lovers can eat it raw or in salads, but not me - I guess I'm just a wimp that likes it in chips or sautéed up with whatever vegetables we have on hand.
If you have not noticed we are having a huge flush of tomatoes. So when we get this many at once, we give you as many as possible, sell to all the local markets we can, and we process a bunch for winter and we also eat more tomatoes. Last night we had a chopped version of a Caprise Salad - which is tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella with a drizzle of olive oil. Simple and delicious.
There are many tomatoes available, call us if you would like to process (freezing or canning) or maybe try making homemade salsa. There are two tomato recipes on the back for you to try.
Enjoy your produce!
