Hi Friends,

Welcome to the first week of our Fall CSA.  During the next two months, we will be bringing you a wide variety of our favorite vegetables, and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!  Each delivery (bi-weekly) you will receive two bags.  If you are picking up your share, please be sure to get both of your bags, which will be labeled with your name.  For this first delivery, we are in a “sweet spot,” with one foot in the last of summer (tomatoes, peppers and eggplant) and another foot in fall (broccoli, cauliflower and radishes.)  So you are in for a real treat!  This week’s bags will include…

• Arugula  --we LOVE this spicy green, and eat it raw in salad or topped on pizza.
• Lemongrass  -- a first for us! Excellent in Asian cooking. Look up how to use best, but we would pound stems lightly and simmer in coconut milk for soup or sauce, then discard. They impart a tangy citrus flavor.
• White Salad Turnips
• Radishes
• Kohlrabi
• Head Lettuce
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Heirloom Tomatoes  -- the last of these delicacies. These are quite ripe, so plan to use right away. If unable to, then chop up, and throw into the freezer for later use in a winter soup.
• Onions
• Garlic
• Shell Beans  -- this Italian variety is gorgeous, as well as delicious. Follow instruction card stapled to big brown bag.
• Sweet Fry Peppers
• Eggplant  -- last of these summer beauties
• Rhubarb Jam (small jar)

Happy Eating,

Johnny
