Hello,

This is the last week for the CSA extension. We will be taking a break from market for a while this summer while we gear up for an exciting Fall 2016 / Winter 2017 season! Shares will be offered soon so stay tuned and let us know if you are interested.

We will have the Kraut Source fermenting lid available today. Stop by our booth to learn more!

This week, Alice shares some of ideas for Summer Dinners. No one wants to cook much in this heat but there are some tasty options for dinner, whether it’s salads or bowls based on grains and veggies.

See you at market!

June 22nd Produce

Here are the items you can expect at Market {M} and in the CSA {CSA}:

• Ford Hook Swiss Chard {M/CSA}: if you add greens to your smoothies, check out this article on why you should rotate your greens.
• Green Beans {M/CSA}: I am always looking for new ingredients to ferment and I think it’s time to try green beans. Here is an easy recipe for Lacto-Fermented Dilly Beans that I plan on trying this week.
• Herbs {M/CSA}: the herbs this week include basil, mint, rosemary and tarragon. I want to experiment with tarragon a bit more and have been thinking about trying Fines Herbes, a classic French herb seasoning blend. It is usually made with dried herbs but why not try a version with fresh herbs?
• White Kohlrabi {CSA}: the market has a yummy recipe for Kohlrabi and Broccoli Fried Rice this week. It is wonderful “root to leaf” recipe that uses the whole kohlrabi and broccoli by incorporating the kohlrabi greens and broccoli stems. Yah for limited food waste!
• Young Pak Choi {CSA}: summer begs for simple meals. I love incorporating simple sauteed pak choi with noodles and a sesame dressing. As an added bonus, you can make a double batch of the sauce and freeze half to use later.
• Round Summer Squash {CSA}: you can easily turn these into a meal by making squash “boats”. They can be filled with just about anything – I love incorporating grains, mushrooms and cheese. Here is a tasty looking recipe with an awesome avocado “cream” or try our lettuce cup filling!
• Young Daikon Radish {CSA}: I love the daikon recipe ideas on this site – kimchee, Do Chua and radish cakes are all on my list!
• Cherry Tomatoes {CSA}: I created a Cherry Tomato Miso Sauce that is posted on my personal blog. It is so yummy with sauteed eggplant and basil mixed in. I hope you like it too!
