Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,
Hello.
Sorry I did not get my emails out last evening. We were busy out shopping for a new market van to replace very loved 438,000 mile white van. We did a bit of sight seeing on the way and visited our new butcher. Smucker's in Mount Joy is a very sweet (for a slaughter house and butcher shop) place. It makes me happy to know that this is where our cows are going.
This week has been busy already. On Monday morning we had a group of 15 beautiful women come from Yoga Inlet in West Reading to do a farm tour and work. It was amazing to see what women get accomplished. I shouldn't say amazing, since we are mostly women at our farm and we do great things. It was a beautiful day with lots of work, smiles and love. Thank you ladies for helping us roll out our straw so we can plant our fall crops this week.
Today we had our Organic Inspection. It is always a tedious process with lots of paperwork. I am so grateful for Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) and their dedication to keeping our food supply safe. We are honored to be apart of what they do.
And now for what we are harvesting this week:
- salad mix - we are planning on a better harvest this week. And the weather seems to be cooperating. Sorry to disappoint so many of you last week.
- fresh cut flower bouquets
- eggplant
- tomatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!
- cucumbers
- summer squash
- beans
- lettuce
- kale
- chard
- potatoes
- basil
- peppers
- Tomato Curry Salad
I adopted this recipe from my father in-law. It is a summer favorite.
3 medium tomatoes, (any type will work the salad types are less juicy than the slicing but the slicing tends to be more sweet)
1 small onion chopped
2 tablespoons mayo ( I always use Vegenaise you can’t beat the taste)
1 curry powder to taste.
Salt & Pepper to taste.
Chop tomato into cubes. Mix all ingredients and serve chilled.
- Parsley Pesto: I would suggest this on the potatoes. Pestos are a great way to freeze and store herbs. http://www.healthylivingnyc.com/food/recipe/7
And remember you can always purchase our produce and meats midweek in our store Hartz Natural Foods on Rt 10. Wednesdays are produce days. Come on Wednesdays for our best selection.
Thank you,
Erica
