Grassland Organic Farm

CSA week 5

Once again I am amazed at how fast time is flying by.  We hope you have been enjoying your summer eating thus far and are looking forward to all of the excited veggies to come!  This week you have 1.5 lbs of snap peas, 1 lb. of garlic scapes, 1/2 lb. of lettuce mix,  bunch of carrots, scallions, and radishes.  It is a great “salad share” this week, but don’t forget to get creative!  Follow the recipe for scape pesto on our recipes page and try adding some scallions.  Don’t forget that radishes are delicious cooked as well as raw!  Add them to stir fry, roasts, or soup.

Here at the farm all is well!  We are having a small amount of trouble with cucumber beetles on some uncovered zucchini, but in general the crops have been in love with the weather pattern.  We are about to finish putting in our fall crops soon such as rutabaga and storage carrots.  We have been working on cleaning the commercial kitchen in hopes to get it up and running one of these days!! There are so many possibilities with regards to how we utilize that space. . . We haven’t decided exactly what we will be offering yet.  Any suggestions: cheese? reduced fat milk? yogurt? pre-made soups, salads or prepared foods? meatballs?  The sky is the limit for now anyway.

Keep in touch! Let us know if you have questions of comments about anything in your share!
