Hello CSA Members! We hope you’re enjoying the fresh produce and the journey towards sustainable, locally sourced food. As we enter Week 3, we are excited to showcase a variety of vibrant vegetables. So, let’s dive in and explore the bountiful harvest that awaits us…
Get ready to indulge your taste buds with the irresistible sweetness and flavor of a summer favorite. That’s right, sweet corn is ready and making its’ first appearance in our share boxes this week. Our farmers have been working tirelessly to cultivate the finest homegrown sweet corn around, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Get your taste buds revved up for an explosion of flavor and crunch as these early bi-color cobs are filled with sweet, tender kernels.
Members will also find cauliflower and broccoli in their shares this week. If you notice discoloration on the top of your broccoli or cauliflower, please don’t discard it right away. This could be a result of sunburn from extended exposure to sunlight. With excessive heat, both the broccoli and cauliflower might need an ice bath to crisp back up. Submerge the produce in a large bowl of ice water for 15-30 minutes in the fridge. Please reach out with any questions.
We always appreciate when members share their favorite recipes with us! This week, we’ve added a few new ones from some of our fantastic CSA members. You’ll find a timeless Rhubarb Coffee Cake recipe that’s been cherished for over 50 years—perfect if you have any rhubarb left from last week. Plus, we’ve included a couple of fresh ideas for that summer squash: Old School Squash Casserole and Pasta with No-Cook Zucchini Sauce. We’d love to hear how they turn out if you give them a try!
We’re excited for you to experience this week’s selection and hope it brings new tastes and inspiration to your table. With the season’s first sweet corn and a variety of vegetable options, there’s plenty to explore. Your continued support means so much to us, and we’re grateful to have you as part of our CSA family. Enjoy the fresh flavors, and we look forward to connecting with you again next week!
