Clockwise, from upper left: Red Russian kale, red leaf lettuce, Italian parsley, carrots, spring onions, scallions, Napa cabbage, kohl rabi (large share pictured).

Use first (will keep about a week): red leaf lettuce
Store a little longer (about 2 weeks): everything else!

Happy Week 9 of the Summer CSA!

Mmmmm! Looks like it will be a good week for stir fry!
All this rain is helping our late spring crops along, although the weeds also love rain…

Those carrots are so tender! Don’t bother peeling them. Napa cabbage is the star of most kimchi recipes, if you feel like trying your hand at home fermentation.

Our onions and Italian parsley are coming along beautifully…check out the recipes below for some culinary inspiration!

Hey, veggie community! We had a great morning selecting the most beautiful produce from the garden to fill your shares this week. We hope you enjoy our selections!

In other garden news, we are busy stringing and staking the field tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes in the high tunnel are juuust starting to ripen and they are wonderful! If you can believe it, we are also preparing for fall and seeding our Brussels sprouts this week. They take quite a bit of planning ahead, we won’t reap the benefits of this labor until early December — but it is always a joy!

Baby zinnias are up in the garden and we look forward to being able to harvest them for fresh cut flower arrangements all summer.

We hope you have a chance to get outside and enjoy this lovely weather. We have rounded up a few recipes inspired by this week’s share, and posted them below. Happy eating!

It’s a lettuce extravaganza! A great time of year for salads, enjoy the bounty of our spring lettuce crop. These varieties work well mixed together, or you can find recipes specific to each kind of lettuce (Frisee salad with Roasted Beets, anyone? )

Your sugar snap peas are entirely edible, pod and all. They make a great snack raw and dipped in hummus, or on their own.

If you’re cringing at the though of salads for every meal, you might want to try sneaking some lettuce into your next healthy smoothie! This Berry Lettuce Smoothie recipe will help get you started.

Your collard greens are the first of the season and are extraordinarily tender, check out this delicious preparation for Healthy Vegan Collard Green Wraps.

However you slice it, we hope you enjoy your share this week! Strawberries peaked last week and our daily harvest is dwindling. They are still available for purchase through our farmstand if you just didn’t have enough, yet!

Buon appetito!
