CSA 2025 - Week #6 (B)
JuLY 23, 24 & 25
Summer is in full swing here on the farm. The fields are bursting with vegetables - we’re racing to get our fall plantings in (yes, already thinking about fall and winter shares!) and we’re anxiously awaiting the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and CORN to be ready! Just a few more weeks on those!
I’m really looking forward to the Swiss chard and Sweetheart cabbage in this week’s shares.
Have a beautiful week, friends!

IN THE BOX…
Basil
Storage: “Bouquet-style” in a glass of water. Change water daily. OR store in an air-tight bag in the fridge.
What I'm making: Pesto to put away in the freezer for future use!
