July 14: Food Truck Sunday, 1-5 pm - Hammered Swine BBQ  Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Member News Farm Members, please refer to your pickup schedules.  In this week's share: Basil - YUM!  The first harvest of the season's fresh basil.  So delicious used fresh & raw on sandwiches, salads, pizza, pesto, you name it! Knob Onions - You'll have both Red & White onions in your share, with the green tops attached as well, so everything is edible.  A knob onion is so called because the onion is not yet fully mature, but more of a "knob" size, but harvested now while the green tops are also still growing & edible. Swiss Chard - FINALLY, the deer have stayed out of the Swiss Chard long enough for it to grow large enough to harvest!   Deer love this crop, but it's super delicious and healthy for humans, too!  :) Sugar Snap Peas - The peak harvest of this year's sugar snap peas has arrived!  You'll each be receiving a big, double-sized bag-full! Kale - Super delicious in a kale soup or kale salad, or try a recipe for kale chips!  This leafy green vegetable is super healthy. Kohlrabi - Simply peel the skin off the kohlrabi, then slice or chop it.  The flavor reminds me of a mix between carrot and cabbage.  It's delicious raw, or with a dip or on a salad.  Garlic Scapes - A gourmet treat! The fresh top of the garlic plant. Use as you would fresh onion or garlic. Dill - Fresh Dill!  Great in dips, on sandwiches & salads. Our recipe database contains cooking ideas for all the vegetables we grow - link here. Our CSA Program (Community Supported Agriculture) is a membership program in which members become "shareholders" in the farm's seasonal vegetable production & receive a "share" of the farm's organic  produce for our full 22-week-long season!
