Greetings to each one of you! What a beautiful weekend we just had—perfect for our Corn Pick Harvest Event. I hope many of you had a chance to get out to the farm. We went on Sunday morning and came home with a good amount of corn for freezing. We’re offering once again the […]

Hello everyone! Did you enjoy the first homegrown sweet corn of the season as much as we did? For our family, that is the true start of summer. And while your family may finish the corn in your share in one meal, if you occasionally find you have an ear or two left, I have […]

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good week and that the severe rainstorms over the weekend didn’t inconvenience you too much. We were camping in the St. Croix Bluffs area and there was a power outage for most of the day on Saturday. But this hot humid weather has certainly been good for […]

Greetings to each of our members! Now that we’re into Week 3, you’re most likely feeling more comfortable with how all this works, and hopefully more at ease with trying new vegetables. I’m sure you each have your own favorite methods of preparing most of the vegetables in our share this week. So I tried […]

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 2! Did you manage to use everything in last week’s share? If you still have some radishes left, I’m including a couple of recipes this week where they could be added. More on that later. I’d like to take a little time to remind everyone to take care to […]

I hope many of you were able to make it out to the bean field this week. We stopped in Saturday evening to check it out. The beans were beautiful and plentiful! It’s a bit of a walk, so wear sturdy shoes and be aware of some soft spongy areas. We enjoyed it, and I […]

When I first heard we would be offering leeks sometime this season, I knew it was time for me to try making vichyssoise. Just the name alone put me off–it sounds so Julia Child-challenging-gourmet . . . except it wasn’t. I found a recipe that I felt was simple, straightforward and delicious all at the […]

So how did everyone enjoy the fennel last week? I still have a little bit left. As I mentioned earlier, I used the fennel leaves as an herb garnish on our fish, some of the bulb in a salad and the rest in a stir-fry. I did freeze the stalks, to use as a flavoring […]

As you already heard from Cole, in Week 3 we’re featuring a new item in our CSA box–fennel. And I want to be totally honest: this one is new to me as well. Yes, it’s true–I’ve never tried this before. But I do have big plans for it.  We’re all encouraged to add more fish […]
