Hello CSA Members,
Our first delivery went well despite our email
troubles. I apologize to those of
you whom received several emails and to those of you who did not receive
any. At this time I cannot figure
out why you did not receive any emails.
In the future the email will be posted on our blog. If for some reason you do not receive
an email please see our blog http://bhorganics.blogspot.com/
Don’t forget to pick up on Wednesday. It may help to set an alarm on your
phone. If you are having problems
picking up please call 484-955-1098, if I can help I will.
You can order by replying to the email or by emailing bhorganics@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 instance 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).
·
We will have extras this week. Scroll down to the bottom to view the
extras list. Extras must be
ordered. Extras are on a first
come first basis.
·
The strawberries have not been a huge success
this year. We have had several
problems. We will definitely give
you as many as we can this week. I
am assuming we will have enough to give a pint but we will not be able to do
more than one order per share. It
could be a small pint.
·
If you are unsure of what a particular vegetable
is I highly recommend checking our recipe blog. Here you will find a description, storage information and a
recipe. The CSA will be more
enjoyable for you if you try new things and new recipes. http://www.bhrecipes.blogspot.com/
·
At times you will see items selected only for
full or half shares. I do all the
orders individually and I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to order
something. I do this the best I
can.
·
If you have a problem or a concern about the
quality of an item or are missing something please let us know immediately. We do make mistakes but we pride
ourselves on customer service and so we would like the opportunity to make good
on a mistake.
·
If you do not order we will choose a well-rounded
box for you.

Recipe: Radishes
Radishes are very misunderstood. Most of us think of them only to be put on salads and that
they are spicy. Yes, these things
are true but radishes are a bit more versatile than that. The roots are great grilled or
roasted. And the greens are
completely edible raw or sautéed.
The greens are just another version of mustard greens.
If you shred radishes or cook them they loose their spicy
flavor but retain a great texture.
Here are some of my favorite recipes for radishes:
· Radish Salad with Goat Cheese
· 5-6 large radishes, Shredded
· 2 tablespoons Goat cheese, crumbled
· Juice of 1/2 lemon, or to taste
· Drizzle of olive oil
· Salt and pepper to taste
Mix the radish slices and Goat Cheese together. Drizzle with
lemon juice and olive oil. Top with salt and pepper and feta. Serves 2 as a
small side.
·
Radishes loose their
bite when shredded.
·
This salad will
store well and gets better when it sits.
