Hearty summer vegetables
We’re back! Deliveries and pickups resume this week and will continue through the middle of October.
Thanks again for your patience and generosity allowing us to rest and regroup before our summer harvests ramp up in July. We are very grateful and privileged to be able to squeeze in some vacation time with friends and family these past few weeks.
This week’s update will be brief. Our 5th harvest of 2022 is quite a hearty summer pull…
Carrots
Our first pull of fresh, crunchy spring carrots.
Fresh Garlic
Our garlic crop is filling out, enough to allow our impatience to get the better of us. These fresh bulbs are not cured for long term storage and should be used sooner rather than later.
Cherry Tomatoes
Sun Gold cherry tomatoes bursting with juicy sweetness, freshly picked and vine-ripe.
Red Cabbage
This is our first mature cabbage crop. Gorgeous, firm, purple heads ready for slaws and what not.
Potatoes
These Kennebec “new potatoes,” similarly to our fresh garlic, are uncured and are not suitable for long term storage like a standard grocery store spud. Paper-skinned and creamy, these tubers were pulled the morning they were delivered or picked up!
Green Peppers
Large and shiny bells for mutually appropriate raw and cooked preparations.
Shishito and Anaheim Peppers
Anaheims are long peppers similar to Italian sweets or bell peppers, but with a mild kick. Accompanying these specialty peppers are wrinkly Shishitos, similarly mild in flavor.
Kale
Big, broad leaf curly kale, great for chips or tossed in a smoothie.
Basil & Rosemary
Sprigs or Rosemary and fresh Basil bringing the aromatics to this week’s dishes.
Flowers & Eggs
With Erin, our resident florist, being out of town this week, ornamental offerings will be simple.
Our layer hen operation has continued to pose challenges, but we have full dozens available this week for all who need them.
Have a great week, thanks again for your support and happy Summer!
Erin & David
