Veggie Shares for the First Week of August!

This week's veggie share includes kale and eggplant from Arethusa Farm, tomatoes and carrots from the Intervale Community Farm, cucumber from Open Heart Farm, bunched beets and potatoes from Bloomfield Farm and herbs from Sugarsnap Farm. Despite all the wet weather, we are beginning to see some diversity in the veggie shares. Hopefully, the next week brings some dry weather and lots of sunshine to help ripen those tomatoes!

Also, the fruit share this week includes black currants from The Farm Between in Cambridge, VT. Black currants are a real treat and are especially great for baking muffins and other pastries and for creating a sauce or coulis to go with either a meat dish or dessert. And for all you winemakers...black currants are incredible for creating a port-style dessert wine. In fact, The Farm Between sell their currants to the Boyden Valley Winery who make an amazing Cassis! http://www.boydenvalley.com/Cassis.html

Finally, I wanted to remind you all of the maple syrup special from Dragonfly Sugarworks. Let us know by August 6th if you are interested in placing an order. Also, we hope to offer more add ons in the coming months so let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like to be offered!

Here's to another week of great local eats!
