Week sixteen and labor day week has arrived all ready! We have been planting for fall and weeding getting the new strawberry field in perfect condition for next season. picking up micro soil, starting micros, pulling weeds, Cleaning out spend tomato vines out of the greenhouses and continuing the work of harvesting cleaning and distributing all the fresh organic veggies we can! We have some more high quality crop variety for you this week as we near the end of summer and the CSA season for some much needed slower months ahead to continue the work but also to rest and regroup. Here is this weeks crop list.
Yellow Carrots: This has been our best carrot season ever so we continue to bring these awesome roots which are sweet and crispy and will store well in the fridge as long as they can stay humid although the sooner you cook them up the better nutritionally.
Garlic- Our garlic is well cured and dry so you can store it at room temp. do not refrigerate garlic or get it wet so a room temp dry place out of direct sunlight is best.
Italian sweet peppers: These will be in the shares this week again and go great with some of your favorite proteins for pasta dishes, stir fries, tacos or stuffed peppers.
Cherry tomatoes- Our cherry tomatoes are still so healthy and productive so more large portions of these are coming this week
Microgreens: Our micro green for this week is pea shoots! These are packed with vitamins and with great flavor for salads, sandwiches, tacos, on top of stir fry
Kale: Curly and tender enough for salads or cooking with some garlic and tomato for a warm side.
Eggplant: The temps are dropping this week like crazy fast but we will try to get one more week of eggplant out this summer before it ends!
Serrano Chile pepper: These green chilies are great in anything and not too hot which is why i chose them as our main hot pepper for shares this season!
Thats everything for this week! We have two weeks of the regular CSA left after this one, one including bi-weekly members which will be next week on week 17, and then one more week for full season members to finish off the summer on week 18. Until next week then folks, have a great holiday weekend with your loved ones and see you soon.
