Week 15 Vegetable Delivery

September 4, 2015

Week 15

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:

Spinach, Peppermint Swiss Chard, Scarlet Kale, Radishes (not pictured), Assorted Summer Squash, Sweet Peppers, Diamond Eggplants, Ground Cherries, Cherry and Heirloom Tomatoes!

I am hoping all of you are enjoying the wonderful tomatoes as much as we are! There are a number of varieties this year which brings beautiful variety to your dishes. Yes, the green one I delivered is ripe, it’s called Green Zebra. Please let me know if any particular ones stand out as favorites for you. This way I’ll know to grow them again next year instead of trying out new varieties. Remember this is your farm too and I aim to grow what you wish to eat!

Sweet Peppers also came in a huge wave this week. The boys and I prefer them stir-fried with onions and some spinach tossed in at the end, served over rice. Another is Chicken Cacciatore which is delicious!

As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Your Farmer,

Week 14 Vegetable Delivery

August 29, 2015

Week 14

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:

Mesclun with Nasturtiums, Beet Greens, Diamond and Listada Di Gandia Eggplant, Sweet Peppers, Assorted Summer Squash, Basil and Heirloom Tomatoes!

In this week’s bounty we have beet greens. I have heard of a delightfully yummy recipe for Horta. A Greek dish for greens.

Steam your beet green until tender.

In a bowl mix ¼ cup olive oil with 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice.

Toss the cooked greens in the dressing and serve.

I love it when I find easy, yummy recipes!
