It was a muddy morning as Joe unloaded 640 heads of lettuce into our wash house. These lettuce heads were then dunked and sprayed and quickly cooled so they remain crunchy and sweet.
This is a ALL SHARES week...FULL and HALF Vegetable and Fruit Shares!

Your Vegetable Harvest for this Week...
Arugula
3 Heads Lettuce (romaine, green leaf and red leaf)
Broccoli
Fresh, Sweet, White Onions
Purple Potatoes
Celery
Sweet Corn
Summer Squash
Sweet, White Onions are curing in our shade cloth-covered greenhouse.
CSA members will receive fresh (uncured), cleaned versions of these onions this week.
We pulled these shallots out of the ground and they are curing as well.
Curing is controlled drying. When certain varieties of onions are grown to maturity and cured properly, they will keep for many months without sprouting.
