Hello to our Spring Batch
Even though it is officially summer, today marks the last Spring CSA basket. We did need to skip a week along the way as I was over my head organizing a plant sale, exhausted and fields were so wet. The weather this spring was over the top with wet and cold but has turned around and seems to be in a gardeners favor lately! Youpi! And for the most part things are progressing well and I expect some amazing crops this season.
It is a different season though, as they all are... we're picking beans, tomatoes and peas all in the same week, peas are usually much earlier!
For some of you this will be your last week, thank you very much it has been a pleasure growing food for you! Good luck with your gardens and have a fantastic summer!
In regards to eggs: all "egg" members (but one, we will contact you) will continue to receive baskets over the summer so we will figure something out to credit you your eggs. We sure hope they start soon- it is the first time in 5 years that even we have no eggs in our house!
In your baskets this week:
1 of Chez Nous Salad Mix
1 bag of pea shoots
1 double bag of Sugar Snap Peas ( Snap Peas are time sensitive like corn and should be consumed ASAP to conserve sweetness you wont taste peas like this in the grocery store!)
1 bag of Kale
Savory

| Crisp Mint lettuce is my new favorite lettuce...it's sweet and crispy! |
 |
| Sugar Snap Peas...they were late but we have lots! We sent out a double bag...half for fresh eating and half for cooking. I tried a new recipe for roasted Snap Peas along with the dipping sauce. WOW! It was delicious and addictive as a snack or a side Here's the recipe: Roasted Snap Peas |
