Here’s a rundown of today’s share:
– mixed lettuce ~0.4 lbs
– head lettuce: “sucrine” is the romaine variety, and most of you got “australe” as the butterhead (2 of you got “pirat” like last week)
– kale (variety “red ursa,” one of two that you will get from the farm) – 1 bunch
– giant red mustard – 1 bunch
– broccoli raab ~0.6 lbs
– french breakfast radish – more than a pound
– hakurei salad turnips – more than 2 lbs!
– fennel “perfection” – 1 bulb
– snap peas – just a taste this week – should be more next week
– oregano – 1 bunch
– cilantro – 1 small bunch
I added a “Recipe Share” page to the website. The idea is that CSA members can add recipe ideas they’ve liked using items from the CSA. You can leave your recipes as ‘comments’ on the page and see what others have been doing as well. Here’s the link: www.cullyneighborhoodfarm.org/recipe-share
As always, we are glad for any feedback you have for us!
cheers, Matt & Michael
