There is one more left! Throughout the season we have tracked and assigned value to everything in your share. There have been instances when we’ve thrown things in because we’ve had it but didn’t “charge” for it (summer squash and kale). That’s just part of sharing the harvest. At this point the shares have averaged close to $25 which is great considering it is $22.50/week. Rather than leave you with smaller baskets we are loading you up as the garden gets pulled out.
This week we had some friends in town who were very excited about picking Asian pears and grapes. The grapes are sweeter this week and I definitely prefer the dark concords. The very end of the cucumbers and summer squash are yanked out. We pulled the quinoa today to avoid it getting rained on and now just have to figure out what to do with it….Picked the tomatoes back pretty hard to avoid major splitting from rain too.
This week your share includes:
Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes
Eggplant
Italian kale- Last night I was craving creamed spinach and instead made creamed beet greens and kale. So delicious with crusty bread! I steamed the greens, blended them with salt, pepper, yogurt, cream, and a pinch of nutmeg….
Asian pears- These made a fantastic salad peeled and tossed with steamed beets and feta.
Concord grapes
Chioggia beets- Steam these and marinate in a simple vinaigrette or use in a pear salad.
Italian parsley- I love parsley on any roasted veggie (beets, potatoes, eggplant).
Dill or Cilantro
Potatoes, ‘All Red’- These are some of our favorite spuds. They make exceptional home fries but are great any other way as well.
Rosemary- Specially included for the potatoes….
Enjoy and please please please fill out the survey!
