We still have a good many sugar snap peas. Oliver, Julie and Juan are picking them right now! We also are giving English shell peas. These you must shell out. Do not eat the pods, just the peas.
We have a lot of different summer squash this year. We have the usual zucchini and yellow squash. We also have the scalloped sunburst and Mediterranean. We also have eight ball and one ball squash. You could get any of these choices! Be surprised. These are all summer squash as you can use them interchangeably in your recipes.
We are digging red potatoes and Yukon gold. These are new potatoes - great boiled with butter or sour cream!
We are also only giving a mystery fruit this week. We have some sweet cherries left, a few sour cherries coming in as well as raspberries, but not enough of any one fruit for everyone so again be surprised!
We are getting our great blueberries in. I made several batches of blueberry muffins already. Oliver and Gregg eat them like candy!
Sign up now for the summer session. Go to the website and check your membership status to see if you are signed up for the summer.
The store is open! We have new items added to the store each week. You can add these to your share at any time. You can pay for these as you go with a credit card or you can choose to wait until the end of the session and get a 4% discount by sending a check.
We just butchered the last batch of broilers on Thursday, so get these while they last!
If you have any questions, please let us know.

Week 4
Spring, 2016
half and full shares
snow peas
sugar snap peas
lettuce
spinach
radishes
mystery item
sweet cherries
Personal shares

kale

lettuce
The sugar snap peas and snow peas are delicious! They are edible pod so you can eat them right from the field or you can lightly sauté them or steam them. We are having a lot of lettuce this year especially with the cooler temperatures so eat lots of greens. Have some spinach with your salad or have spinach lightly sautéed with garlic scapes for a delicious side dish.
We are finally getting radishes in quantity. They are very late this year. Use in salads or eat them are they are with salt!
You will be getting a mystery item again this week. We have added this feature in order to give a little of this and a little of that. So be prepared to be surprised!
We are also only giving one fruit to the half and full shares this week. The fruit is not cooperating with our needs this year. We are giving all of the half and full shares a rain check for an extra fruit later during the session. By July hopefully we will have a more abundant supply.
The store is open!
If you have any questions, please let us know.
