Tewksbury Grace Farm

Hi Friends,

Summer starts today, and we have many different summer vegetables to look forward to: eggplant, tomatoes, summer squash, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet onions… did I mention tomatoes?  But for now, during the spring and early summer, the fresh and braising greens reign.  We try to bring you as many varieties of greens as possible, but sadly, the greens will only last so long before they give way in the summer heat.  Here is a link to a blog where the writer talks about how she came to love her CSA greens (http://lisaiscooking.blogspot.com/2012/06/asian-flavored-kale-and-cabbage-slaw.html) 

We hope you are planning on attending our farm tour on Monday. We encourage you to come see how we grow your food! The farm is in full production, so you will see what will be coming up…  Think rain! This season is on the dry side, so we look forward to the next rain shower.  This week in your bag you will find…

• Salad Mix
• Kohlrabi (remember, just peel , slice and eat it raw with a dip if you want)
• Sugar Snap Peas and Yellow Snow Peas (sugar snaps are delicious raw)
• Escarole (this is the banded head in your bag. Excellent chopped and sautéed, and tossed with pasta, or in soups)
• Red Radish/White Salad Turnips (slice and eat raw with a salad)
• Carrots (first sweet blend of the season)
• Kale
• Fresh Thyme Sprigs (chop entire sprig and add to sauté or to stew)

Happy, healthy eating!
