FRUIT SHARE

Pristine Apples (petite, early season variety) great for fresh eating, also holds shape well when cooked.

STORAGE

Store all items in an airtight bag in the fridge. The basil can be stored “bouquet-style” in a glass of water on the counter. Change the water daily and use within 3 days.

The onions are “fresh eating” meaning you need to store them in the fridge and eat within 5 days.

 

THIS IS A WEEK “A” for bi-weekly members

This week’s box is amazing!!!! The zucchini and cucumbers are winding down. This is the END of the cucumbers for the season. We do have a later planting of zucchini, but not for another few weeks so you get a good break. (We know you probably need it!)

A note on tomatoes…. The tomatoes are just starting! We had enough for a few groups this week and by next week everyone should be getting cherry tomatoes. Red tomatoes will follow the week after. Please understand that if you don’t receive tomatoes this week, you will be getting them very soon and your group will receive them for an extra week at the end of the season. We keep very careful track of who gets what so it’s always fair!

We finished up all of our fall transplanting this week. We still have a few more fall crops to direct seed (like the carrots and beets), but that too will be finished before the end of the month.
