Hello CSA Members,
Welcome to the first year of the B & H Organic Produce
Late Season CSA. This has been a
dream of mine since the beginning.
As we grow as a business we find the CSA to become more valuable to us
each year. And it is you, our members,
who make it possible to do what we love and share our passion with you. You are extremely valuable to us. Thank you.
I previously sent an email with instructions on how to pick
up and order. If you have any
questions please feel free to email me at bhorganiccsa@gmail.com or call
484-955-1098. I also am available
to receive text messages at this phone number. I appreciate all feedback and strive to create a healthy
customer service experience.
If you do not see an email from us feel free to check our
blog where we will post the same email for you each week. http://bhorganics.blogspot.com/
Don’t forget to pick up your produce! It may help to set an alarm on your
phone.
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 ordering:
·
We cannot guarantee orders. We will definitely do our best.
·
If an item has OR stated in the list than you can either of these items not
both.

You may order from the list below. If you do not choose to order we will
select a well-rounded box for you.
You can also order less than 6 items and we will fill in the rest.
·

2 than this counts as 2 of your 6 items.

Recipes:
Komatsuna – a Japanese mustard green. Also known as Japanese Spinach. I don't find it to be similar to
spinach but I do love this green.
I love Komatsuna because it is very versatile. The flavor is not as strong as many
mustard greens. I prefer to eat it
raw or slightly wilted.
If you have ever eaten a mustard green salad at a Vietnamese
restaurant this is probably the green they use because it is so mildly
flavored.

Komatsuna is the new kale: I love this blog from another
farmer. I can totally relate
because due to insects we have not been able to keep up with the demand for kale:

I love eggs so much because they are a quick
protein and a great way to eat your greens: http://blog.charlottefresh.net/2012/06/04/fresh-recipe-komatsuna-souffled-omelette/
·
Here is a great curry recipe using the hakurei
turnips we are offering this week as well: http://holcombfarm.org/simply-fresh-by-julie-wern-5
I think it is
great that all these recipes come from farms. We farmers are working hard to grow food you might like and
to keep food exciting for you. Try
this green out for something new this week.
We really appreciate you and could not do it with out you.
Thank you,
Erica
