CSA Week 14


Welcome to Week 14!


We thank you for joining our CSA and visiting our farm stand this season. From the early seeding in the greenhouse in March, preparing fields in April, transplanting in May, weeding and harvesting from June until the late heavy frost tells us its time to rest, we have grown together as your crew this season. Because of your support for local and organically grown food we stand here before a row of Zinnias and take our picture.

Recipes!



Hakurei Turnips! These turnips have a sweet summery flavor to them
 and are best sliced and enjoyed on their own. They are also great roasted or made au gratin style!


The radishes have a mild peppery bite to them and would make a great side to your roasted chicken.

Some days we feel sweet and some days we feel sour............

Breakfast maybe hectic during the week...........maybe this will slow you down.....

Our Fall Parsley has a wonderful full flavor that would be great as a salad or made in an oil.....Parsley Oil.

Smokin' Poblano Peppers are coming your way.................Poblano & Skirt Steak Fajitas!

A great marriage of Sweet Peppers and Sausage..............

As our evenings begin to cool down its time for us to warm up to Vanilla Roasted Pears!


Happenings on the farm this week.....
