Hello CSA Members,
What a wonderful week of weather if you are like me and love
hot weather. I am soaking it up
before it ends.
This week is meat shares so don’t forget to look in the
cooler for your meat order.
On Saturday the 14th at 6 pm we are hosting our
annual CSA potluck. You can arrive
at 5 pm for a tour. We are very
interested in an RSVP this year.
If we do not have enough of a response then we may cancel the potluck. Although, it is always a very good time
it is often poorly attended and a lot of work for us. We would like to have an RSVP by Sunday the 8th.
We will be hosting the Rt 10 Organic Farm / Nursery Tour on
Saturday September 7th.
I will attach the flyer.
This is a free event in which we collaborate with Sugarbush Nursery (Native
Plants), King’s Herb Nook, and Wyebrook Farm. Sugarbush will be hosting a meadow and forest walk and we
will be doing an heirloom tomato tasting.
It is a great way to come out and see the farm!!!
You can order by replying to the email or by emailing bhorganicscsa@gmail.com. The orders must be in by Tuesday at 2
pm. Processing the orders takes
some time so I would appreciate no late orders.
Notes about this week’s harvest list:
·
This week you will be able to order multiples of
some items. For example if you
would like 2 orders of lettuce you may do so. If you can order multiples it will be stated next to the
item. If you order 2 orders of
lettuce it counts as 2 orders for your 8 items (for a full share) or 5 items (for
a half share). If and item does not list an option for
ordering multiples then you cannot order multiples of that item.
·
If you do not order we do not usually give herbs
or flowers. If you do not want to
order all of your items and would like to be surprised be sure to request the
herbs or flowers.

on how much you want.)

Recipes:
Pac Choi
We choose to grow the smaller version of this popular Asian
green because the larger one is a very big commitment for a small family. Although I must say, it is wonderful
when blanched and then frozen.
Pac choi is very high in Vitamin A and calcium. I just love the crunch in salads or
lightly cooked. Pac Choi is also
known as “Chinese Celery.”
·
If I were choosing a share this week I would get
garlic, pac choi, tomatoes, peppers, chives, tomatillos and winter squash and I
would make a brothy soup leaving all the vegetables very chunky. I know it is hot out but a brothy soup
can really cool you down and nourish you.
