Week 5 Vegetable Delivery Newsletter



June 23, 2017
Week 5

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Mustard Greens, Shanghi Bok Choy, Red Kitten Spinach, Rainbow Swiss Chard, “Ella Kropf” Head Lettuce, “Bunte Forellenschuss” Head Lettuce and Basil

Hello Everyone,

This week brings Swiss Chard which is bouncing back from the hail storm earlier this month. Mustard Greens, a more delicate green with a lighter taste. Plus delicious Shanghi Bok Choy. All 3 are usually best sautéed. 
Along with these are wonderful salad greens and basil from the greenhouse. Two types of basil including Purple Dark Opal and Genovese.

This week the transition in the greenhouse to hot weather plants continues. All of the remaining cool weather and strong crops are moving up to the field and the tomatoes, pepper and cucumbers are taking up residence in the warm greenhouse beds. We already have some flowers on the tomatoes!
Meat birds will be available on July 18. Over half have been presold so please get your order in ASAP! They are $4.50/lb and most are usually in the range of 6-8lbs each.

I hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Your Farmer,

Amber
