FRUIT SHARE

Paula Red Apples
Soft, sweet-tart flesh. Good for fresh eating and sauces and pies. I particularly love this variety for a comforting pot of homemade applesauce this time of year.

How to store fruit - Store in the fridge.

 

THIS IS WEEK “A” for bi-weekly members

There was so much to harvest for the shares this week that we couldn’t even fit it in the box! What a bounty! This is September, the season that brings the best crops in from the fields and puts the pressure on those of us in the kitchen. Preserve the harvest while you can… I’m roasting my peppers and freezing them, making batches of homemade tomato sauce (or in a pinch, freezing tomatoes whole) and pickling the green beans.

Happy cooking, friends!

“Shinseiki” Asian Pear
A round fruit with yellow skin stippled with tan. It is a firm, crunchy variety with a sweet flavor and hints of spice.

How to store fruit

Pears are best stored in the fridge. You can leave them on the counter for a few days to ripen to darker yellow/light brown for best sweet flavor. Then refrigerate or enjoy right away.

STORAGE

Store all greens in an airtight container in the fridge. Zucchini/Squash, Peppers and Cauliflower should also be in the fridge.

The Tomatoes should remain on the counter and enjoyed when fully deep red (or yellow for the cherries). Don’t refrigerate tomatoes or they will lose all their flavor.

 

THIS IS WEEK “A” for bi-weekly members

The tomatoes are continuing to produce nicely! The upcoming forecast calls for warmer than normal temperatures, which these summer crops love!

We’re so excited for our colored peppers this week! You have to have a lot of patience as you watch the peppers grow larger and slowly turn from green to yellow, orange and red over the course of a month. The soils here are amazing and you can see that in the quality of our fruiting crops. Enjoy!

“Zestar” Apple
An early sweet-tart variety with a hint of brown sugar.

How to store fruit

Apples are best stored in the fridge.

STORAGE

Store the eggplant in a plastic bag or other airtight container ON THE COUNTER. Use within 3 days. Storing in the fridge can cause cold damage to the eggplant.

Tomatoes should be stored on the counter.

Watermelon should be stored in the fridge along with all other items.

 

THIS IS WEEK “B” for bi-weekly members

A note on tomatoes… We are sending out tomatoes that are generally a bit under-ripe because they are less likely to damage in transit to you. They will continue to ripen once you get them home. Please leave them out on your counter on a plate or platter until they are a deep red color. At that point, eat them right away! Storing tomatoes in the fridge is a no-no as it takes away their flavor.

This is the final planting of the year for the zucchini and summer squash. This planting is not as prolific, so enjoy them while you can!

And the watermelons we’ve all been waiting for are finally here!
