CSA Week 8
THE HARVEST… Tomatoes! Nice reds, perfect sandwich size; Heirlooms, delicate and VERY flavorful, cracks and splits are normal and expected; U-Pick cherry tomatoes – orange and black types. Tomato harvest getting bigger each week! Spaghetti squash; Potatoes (red, gold, white mix); Cucumbers – heavy harvest – make pickles! Zucchini, Eggplant, Peppers (bells and hots), Carrots, Beets, Onions (red, yellow). Also, Garlic – so fresh – pair with extra tomatoes and basil. More Cabbage, Radish and Scallions. U-Pick Green Beans. U-Pick Herbs… lots of Basil! And parsley. Dill and Cilantro going to seed, still great for cooking. U-Pick Flowers full of color – pair with an herb bouquet and give your table that farmhouse feel. Take a pic, along with your veggies and tag us @walkingbirdfarm to win a Walking Bird Farm t-shirt/tank or canvas tote bag!
