Box Delivery Week 13

Here is a peek at this week's newsletter:


August 29th, 2014
Week 13

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Mesclun, Rutabega, Cucumber, Kale, Swiss Chard, Assorted Summer Squash, Royalty Purple and Dragon’s Tongue Beans, Broccoli and Tomatoes!

We’ve had some beautiful days on the farm this week. I’ve also found out that Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water is a fantastic solution for keeping my squash plants healthy.
Plus we were very excited to see the winter squash growing for example Acorn and Butternut. Also the tomatoes really loved the heat this week, I’m hoping they will be ok as there is a tomatoe blight occurring and mine just started to show signs of being effected. Keeping my fingers crossed.


Zucchini Parmesan

The kids and I tried out this recipe last night. I was shocked at how fast and easy it was. Yum!

Slice 1 large squash (you can use a mixture of varieties) and sliced onion into a pan and sauté on medium heat with olive oil and some salt and pepper. Stir often and cook until soft and slight browning occurs.
Meanwhile heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grate some white chedder cheese, you can add some parmesan too and open a jar of pasta sauce.
Once the squash and onion mixture is ready spoon it into a casserole dish, cover with sauce and then cheese. Place in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Your Farmer,

Amber
