Hi everybody!
When 4:00 hits on Fridays Chez Nous Farms becomes quite a busy store for our little town of Stevensville! And especially today as our group got a wee bit larger..welcome everyone! So far we have completed Spring baskets 1-12 and are starting Summer baskets 13-24 which will be followed by Fall 25-36.
This week's baskets had alot of weight to them as opposed to all the greens!
In your baskets this week:
1 bag of Chez Nous Salad Mix
1 bag of Sugar Snap Peas
1 bag of beans Snap or Slicing (which are flat instead of round)
Kholrabi
1 cucumber
Garlic Scapes
Basil (Basil keeps best in cup with some water on the counter as opposed to the fridge where it goes black
the odd little tomato
Juicing add on: Swiss Chard, Kale,cucumber, Mint and Parsley
This week will more than likely be the last week of Sugar Snap Peas. Every week we try to include a bag of Chez Nous Mix which is a mix of lettuces, greens and herbs, this week you may notice there is alot of lemon and lime basil...one of my usual summer add ins.

| A strangely beautiful vegetable |
 |
| We had a beautiful Kholrabi crop this year. Such a versatile veggie no need for a recipe here just peel and a simple roasting or steaming with butter will be delicious! Leaves are also edible. |
 |
| Some slicer beans and lemon cucumbers |
 |
| Garlic Scapes also the last scapes for this season. I included some basil this week for those you might want to make some scape pesto. There are so many recipes and even I make it different every time but a blend of Olive Oil and scapes make a great base you can also add some herbs and Parmesan cheese if you like. A few recipes with scapes Scape Pesto |
 |
| Last week we were dissapointed to learn that the 4 rows of corn we had planted went to the birds...not a single seed could be found! That's a first for us! Guess we need a scarecrow....Oh well, we replaced it with our Flower Sprouts and radishes which were ready to go in the ground ( 4 rows under nets to the right) |
 |
| The potatoes are doing really really well this is our biggest potato crop ever. In the background sit's our moveable coop waiting for our young layers they should be moved in shortly. |
 |
| This week the boys worked on our new chicken pasture we call the Moat a perimeter fence to travel the chickens through. |
