Share Contents for the week of June 30th

This week's veggie share includes head lettuce and swiss chard from Pitchfork Farm, dandelion greens and cilantro from Digger's Mirth Collective Farm, broccoli crowns from Open Heart Farm, zucchini from Arethusa Collective, and cucumber and yellow squash from Healthy City Farm. The large share also includes the first pick of bunched carrots from Arethusa!

The dandelion greens can be cooked the same way that you cook kale or collard greens. An easy and flavorful recipe is to chop them, steam them and then toss with garlic, ginger, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Then add salt and pepper to taste and you're in for a treat!

Enjoy this week's share and keep checking the blog as we will continue to post the weekly share contents!

Food Basket Deliveries Begin!

We are pleased to report a successful first week of deliveries for the Food Basket program! We've heard rave reviews of the strawberries, mushrooms and cilantro and appreciate everyone's patience and enthusiasm this first week. Check out these photos:

Daughter and Mother enjoy strawberries from Adams Berry Farm, which (by the way) is open for strawberry U-Pick Monday through Saturday until early July.










Thanks again, everyone, and we look forward to seeing you all again next week!
