Broccoli side-shoots<\/i><\/div>\n

SUGARSNAP PEAS (F\/P) These are edible-podded peas. Just snap the top, pull any strings that may come with it and pop it in your mouth. <\/p>\n

KOHLRABI (F\/P) Introducing the kohlrabi \u2013 We have enough for everyone to get one. More are on their way.   Peel it well and eat raw or cook lightly.<\/p>\n

LETTUCE (F2\/P1) Too much lettuce in your fridge? Check Tom\u2019s recipe for wilted lettuce salad.  <\/p>\n

STRAWBERRIES (F\/P) A quart for all. What a great crop this year! We are glad so many of you came out for u-pick and ordered bulk. Who can say n”No” to a fresh, local, no-spray strawberry? Non-organic berries, as a picker on Saturday said, are \u201cchemical sponges\u201d.<\/p>\n

GARLIC SCAPES (F\/P) The hardneck garlic\u2019s flower stalk. Very edible and tasty. Great with the creamy garlic dressing we make at the farm with our fresh eggs. A different version than last week\u2019s yogurt-based recipe, Tom’s got a link this week.<\/p>\n

BROCCOLI (P) We are happy to get the partial shares their \u201cfair share\u201d of broccoli. It has been a disappointing harvest and this is the last of it.  Luckily the plants made one last dash and made lots of side-shoots after the main head was picked. <\/p>\n

HERB CHOICE (F) Rosemary, taragon, garlic chives or a dried herb<\/p>\n

SPRING ONIONS (F)  A bit of a bulb on these, but still with fresh tops.<\/p>\n

KALE OR CHARD (F) The greens love all of this moisture. Expect more in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n

NEXT WEEK: More peas, lettuce, strawberries and kohlrabi. Cabbage and spring turnips.<\/p>\n

FARM REPORT: The fields were filled this past weekend thanks to an amazing strawberry harvest. The weather was perfectly pleasant and lots of you came out with family and friends in tow. <\/p>\n

As the berry harvest winds down, our CSA harvest mornings will be given over to the pea patch, which is looking great. Peas have a short season here in the southern Midwest, but our healthy plants this year remind me of our beginnings back at Peacework Organic Farm in Newark, New York. Tom and I met in the spring on the farm.  Western New York has beautiful farmland, well-drained soil and good people.  Congrats to all the farmers there and the Genessee Valley CSA – 25 years and still going strong: www.gvocsa.org <\/a> .<\/p>\n
