Dear CSA Shareholders,

The plants are looking great with all the rain! 

Produce List for June 9-13

* tentative and subject to change

Beets

Radish or Hakerei Turnip

Kale

Head Lettuce

Parsley and Sage

Featured Recipe of the Week: Kale Salad 

1 Bunch Kale

2 Tbs. Olive Oil

1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

1 Tbs. course salt

5 sliced Strawberries

Sliced almonds, cashews or other crushed nut

1 tbs. chopped parsley

I clove crushed garlic

Raw kale is a tougher green that does well raw when tenderized first. Shred the kale pretty thin into a bowl. Pour oil, salt and lemon juice on the kale and then gently mash the juices into the leaves until the kale is tender (about 50 strokes). Add the fresh garlic, parsley, fruit and nuts to the top and toss. Set out on the counter covered for a 1/2 hour before serving so kale accepts the flavors.

Food Safety Note
Please note that although we wash our produce after harvesting, shareholders should wash before eating. Our farm produce should be treated the same way as grocery store produce: always wash before eating! The best way to wash produce is by running it under cool water. Cleaning products are not necessary.
