"In my years as at this job, I have yet to hear a farmer say he was having a good year." words by our organic inspector this week. He was speaking in regards to our thoughts on how negatively the wet spring affected us. We laughed when he said this because we knew how true it is ..every year there is something! I guess it's just the expectations and high hopes we have every season.... the vision of perfection. A good little reminder that we need to stay positive, always.
It was nice to hear our inspector comment on the colour we have going at this point...it was the most he has seen. We did get the hot crops in right on time this year. Tomatoes have been such a hit. This weekend i am working on my first batch of Paprika and i have more peppers at this point then i had end of season last year. Very cool.
In your baskets this week:
Chez Nous Salad Mix
1 head of Crisp Mint Lettuce
Tomatoes
Sweet Peppers
Celtuce ...peel, and cook a little so it is still crunchy...add salt.
Cucumber
Greens upgrade: alos got Kale, Sunflower Sprouts and Dill
Thanks everyone
Have a wonderful week!

| Celtuce ...a very strange veggie. If your a fan of Water Chestnuts you should enjoy it's crunchy texture. |

| This year's tomatoes are insanely gorgeous! |
