Oh do I ever enjoy cooking this time of year! The colors of the food are amazing and the bounty is just so darn fun that it inspires all kinds of meals. Our family has been indulging in a case of peaches the last couple of weeks to try to satiate our fresh peach cravings. I’ve been drooling over the idea of grilled peaches for some time and we finally made some for dessert last night for the first time ever. What an easy, delicious treat! Add a little whipped cream to the top of them and wowser, I was in heaven. We also had fish tacos made from Ashlan’s catch of the week (rainbow trout from our uncle’s spring fed pond) and the peaches were a great substitute for mangoes to add to our lime bean salsa.
Next week, we will have raspberries in the boxes. The rains over the weekend wrecked havoc on our berries and this week’s picking needs to be frozen for jam/sauce, but the weather seems to be clearing up for the rest of the week. We certainly could use a little sunshine and warmth to try to dry things out here.
THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS PRODUCE BOXES—SPECIAL ORDER NOW!
The harvest from the fields this season have been really wonderful. So we will be offering Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday produce boxes this year as a one-time box available the weekend or a few days before these holidays. This is a special order box filled with roughly 20# of naturally raised produce such as onions, winter squash, potatoes, cabbage, beets, carrots, cooking greens or spinach, dried herbs such as rosemary and sage, and eggs. The cost is $50 and should be reserved ahead of time as there is a limited supply.
If you want to reserve a Thanksgiving or Christmas Produce Box, please email Heather to place your order. These boxes are available to anyone, not just our CSA members, and would be available for pick up at the farm on a Saturday or Tuesday prior to the holiday. Please plan to bring a box/bag/crate along to transfer your items from the packed box to your home.
