Week 9

Hi All,

Tomatoes are............not quite ready, but you will be getting some of the little rainbow bell tomatoes that are very sweet and we are including some green tomatoes in your crates this week. If you haven't had fried green tomatoes, you have to try them at least once. Just slice them, dredge them in flour salt and pepper and into the fry pan. Butter is best to fry them in, but if you're watching your butter intake any other oil will suffice. We will be extracting honey from our hives this Saturday. I'm not sure how much we will get, but hopefully enough for everyone who would like some.

It's going to be a scorching week, don't forget, the farm pond is available to you to cool off a bit.

A short report this week because I'm being pressured to get ready to go see Harry Potter this evening.

In your crates this week:

blueberries
cucumbers
summer squash
carrots
beets
Italian parsley
hot peppers
prairie blush potatoes (a cross between a red and Yukon gold)
onions
green tomatoes
rainbow bells
Swiss chard

See you Wednesday.

Steve and Vicky

oops

In my haste to get out to see Boy Potter, now Man Potter, I neglected to mention that we will have corn on Wednesday, picked that morning. I pick it up at 8am. So, if you want corn, it won't be here until 9. You can still pick up your crates from 8 til 9, if you don't want corn, as Vicky will be here to get your crate together. 13 ears will be $4 for CSA members. General public price $5 for 13 ears.
