Glorious rain!
Hi Friends,
The rain we got on Monday was AMAZING! We were so thankful (1.4 inches). The rains came after we had three truckloads of water (total- 13,000 gallons) delivered over the past week and a half. So during that hot dry period our crops didn’t skip a beat, and they are now rocking out! And finally the temps have cooled delightfully.
It may be the middle of summer, but we are already thinking of fall. We have been transplanting cabbage, broccoli, beets, carrots and Brussel sprouts plants, all in anticipation of a big fall harvest.
This week in your bag…
- Summer Squash (all shapes and colors)
- Italian Di Bue Cabbage (half share members. This loose wrap summer cabbage is our favorite. Sometimes we just cut it into wedges and eat it raw, dipped in dressing. Way sweet and juicy)
- Savoy Cabbage (full share members. Beautiful crinkly green)
- Head Lettuce (delicate, so we do not wash. Rinse gently before use)
- Cucumbers (assorted crispy, juicy, thin-skinned white and green. Unlike store cukes, our’s are not waxed. They do not last as long, so use them sooner than later)
- Walla Walla Sweet Onions
- Carrots (half share members)
- Red Beets (full share members)
- Basil
- Garlic (1 small fresh)
- Frozen Red Raspberries
Please be sure to get your bag as soon as possible (3:45 Muncy, 4:45 LOOP garage) so that your berries don’t melt! We picked these gems in the peak of the raspberry season a couple of weeks ago and immediately froze them. They are delicious! Put them into the freezer if not using them immediately.
Happy and healthy eating,
Johnny
