Hello CSA Members,
The last few days have been wonderful. I hope this email finds you all well
and not sunburned. It is so hard
not to want to soak up all that Vitamin D after many months of little
sunshine.
We have finally been able to get into most of our fields to
till and plant. It is all coming
very fast and I am so excited. The
potato seed arrived this week and the tomato plants are bursting out of the greenhouse! As a farmer I couldn’t be happier.
Our first delivery went very well. Everyone picked up and we are very grateful.
Please read the policies we have listed below the recipes
for additional pick up information.
There was a typo below in the ordering location. The Spring CSA is actually 5 items per
week but the email said 6. We made
sure everyone got 6 items to be fair.
We had the product so we were happy to share it with all of you as a
great way to start the season!
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.
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.

Recipes:
Mache / aka Corn
Salad.
Mache is a tender green that loves to grow in the
winter. It is actually the only
green that can be cut when it is frozen and still make a great salad. Mache is very hard to grow in these
parts because it loves to grow when it is cold but in order to do that we need
to plant when it is hot and mache does not like to be hot. It is best eaten raw to taste the tender
sweet flavor but can be slightly wilted as well. We are offering a small amount because it is a delicacy and
very labor intensive to harvest.
This green won’t be around long so this is a good time to try it.
