Our field tomatoes are just starting to produce. With all this heat I am a bit surprised that they haven't taken off earlier! In this week's bounty you'll taste our sweet sungolds from the field and red slicers from our hoophouse. We'll have a few other varieties for sale at the stand on Thursday so be sure to stop over and see what we'll have. As the plants begin to ripen more we'll be sure to share the bounty in your CSA.
Your vegetable harvest this week........

Your Carmen red peppers have a great sweet taste to them that you'll enjoy eating fresh. If you choose to cook with these a simple coat of olive oil and putting them on the grill will add to any dish. If you have a slightly green pepper set them on your counter and in a day or two they will turn red, the more red they are the sweeter they become, enjoy!
