Newsletter, August 29, 2022

Greetings!

Has this summer flown by for you?  It sure has for us.  Hard to believe that Labor Day is upon us, school has started, and before long we will have this summer in our rear view mirrors. No more summer bar-b-cues, swim meets for the kiddos or summer sporting events. I am always sad to say goodbye to summer, though I do love autumn with its beautiful foliage and crisp cool weather.

Your CSA shares will soon begin to look different with fall and cooler season crops making their appearance.

In your shares this week you should have: Onions, Potatoes, Okra, Green Beans, Eggplant and Tomatoes.  Combo share: Fruit (Peaches – nice size ones too!).

Since I mentioned Tomatoes, did you know there is a World Tomato Society on the web?  I didn’t until today. Their website will tell you anything and  everything you’d like to know about tomatoes!  Their Twitter page states ” The World Tomato society is a global community committed to cultivating, discovering, sharing, educating, and preserving all things tomato.” When you have a chance, check out their webpage, it’s quite informative and interesting.  Here is their website: http://www.worldtomatosociety.com

Here is a link to a recipe using the tomatoes in your share that I think you will enjoy. My mother always made Scalloped Tomatoes for us when I was growing up, and I love them to this day! They are a compliment to most any entree.  The link is: https://food52.com/blog/4369-sarah-leah-chase-s-scalloped-tomatoes

Home Delivery members: Be sure to leave the cooler and ice block out to receive your share this week.

The Full Harvest Moon makes it’s appearance if its a clear evening on September 10, according to the old Farmers Almanac.  The Almanac says that this winter may be a shivery, slushy one.

Until next week’s newsletter, have a safe week and enjoy the upcoming Holiday weekend!
