Here is what CSA Members will find in the August CSA bag:
APPLES – (Please wash first) four different varieties of early season apples: Zestar, Norland, Beacon, and Irish Peach. Some are crunchy and juicy, some are soft and juicy.
VINE-RIPENED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES – heirloom tomatoes are beautifully ugly. Some are the perfect-looking tomato, but most are lumpy, striped, or even sometimes looking like your favorite cartoon character. What’s most important to note is that they are very delicate, with thin skin, so it easily cracks. But so what. They are juicy, sweet, and absolutely delicious.
GNARLY CARROTS – I’ve never been a very good carrot farmer. I’ve never been successful growing the perfect, long, cylindrical carrots, but rather, I just let them do their own thing. The result is quite an entertaining variety of wild-looking carrots, much like what you would see in a Picasso painting. Anyhoo…. You’ll find a bag of crazy looking carrots, but they are crunchy, juicy, and sweet.
THYME – An earthy herb to add to any of your favorite savory dishes.
CUCUMBERS – Yup. You know what do do with these.
PEPPERS – A mix of sweet and hot peppers.
BEETS – A nice bundle of these healthy roots, full of antioxidants
CABBAGE – You’ll find either a red, green, or cone-head shaped cabbage in your bag.
GRAB BAG – Grab an item of your choice from the grab bag bin. You can also exchange an item if you prefer.
ONE DOZEN EGGS – The ladies in the hen house are slowly starting to get back on track, so I’m happy to say that eggs will be available this month.
BEVERAGES – three four packs of your choice.
Enjoy these last days of summer. It sure is beautiful, and we hope to see you here on the farm to enjoy the food trucks, music, classes, and whatever else we have going on.
