It's a great time of the season for green and yellow wax beans! These can be enjoyed raw or slightly cooked to still hold in their crunch and sweet flavor. Enjoy these ideas found from NPR, Green Bean Salad with Soy Glazed Almonds.

 The weather forecast for this week calls for cool nights into the 50s! Remember the Caldo Verde recipe from our past newsletter? Or how about a warm panini tonight,  Warm Greens and Mushroom Panini.



A healthy snack anytime, beans and tomato make a a great pair in a stir fry or salad. Here is a recipe that you could add fresh beans in this recipe, Tomato Salad with Turkish Tahini Dressing. Enjoy!

Happenings on the farm..................

Here Chris seeds a few new beds of turnips, lettuce, carrots and radishes!

                                                                                      
                                                                                                       
















On Tuesday morning Armando and Joe began the process of extracting honey. I've already had the pleasure to enjoy this delicately sweet honey that the bees worked so hard for this summer, we'll be sure to have it ready for sale next week!

Don't forget to stop by the farm stand on Thursday 4 to 7pm or Saturday 8-2pm. Among the variety of produce we have for sale we also have whole chickens available for sale at $4.00 a  pound and eggs at $5.50 a dozen. Stop by and enjoy the fresh summer bounty and meet your farmers!

Enjoy this week's bounty!

Your farmers,

Tania and Chris Cubberly and our crew, Joe, Armando, Michael, Francisco, Elliott, Sherman and Charlie!
