Tewksbury Grace Farm

Another great bag coming your way this week!  Though tomatoes have peaked, we should still have them for 2-3 more weeks (barring an early frost…gasp! Say it isn’t so!) We hope you have been enjoying the wide variety of colors, flavors, and shapes.  Remember to check out Tewksbury Grace Farm’s Fall CSA!!!! At http://www.localharvest.org/blog/20370/  Why?? Because we care deeply about proper agricultural stewardship, the best in nutrition and flavor of our foods, and the commitment to minimal adverse impact on all living things in our farming operations….just to name a few! Thanks to all of you who have already signed up.  You will continue to eat well, and with your food choices, make a big daily difference in the world.

PLEASE NOTE!! There are FROZEN berries in the bag this week, so please make sure to pick up/take in your bags asap and put berries back in freezer.

Here’s what’s in the bag this week:

• Heirloom Tomatoes  -- So many lovely and sweet varieties (remember that green varieties are ripe). You will find all kinds of unusual and shapely tomatoes. These are RIPE, so plan to eat in the next few days. Remember that tomatoes do NOT like to be refrigerated!
• Savoy Cabbage (full share) or
• Red Cabbage (half share)
• Snap beans –tender and tasty Rattlesnake (green with purple stripes) and Golden Bacau, a flat Italian yellow bean. We like these flash sautéed in a fine olive oil, with a dash of seasoning…addictive! Harvest is nearly complete on snap beans.
• Sweet Fry Peppers- Blend of Fushimi, Carmen red Italian sweet peppers and small lunchbox style yellow, red and orange sweets. Great raw or cooked.
• Frozen Blackberries- picked at peak of plumpness and freshness, then frozen. Great in yogurt, juices, cereal.
• Hot Peppers –   a mix of jalepeno-style peppers
• Rosemary Sprigs

Enjoy!
