Sooo sorry this is arriving so late.. The Harvie site was experiencing technical issues and we couldn't get this sent.. All fixed now..
Well, we're rolling on sans CSA Manager... If anyone knows the perfect person out there, do tell them to reach out ;)
The first itty bitty baby summer squash have set, so hopefully in a few weeks we can start to offer some for your summer grilling pleasure. Carrots are about pencil thick and growing fast... The next round of broccoli will hopefully be on for next week. and the Barn swallows have successfully built a nest right over our farm washer dryer, so now with little eggs in there we're stuck with them till the babies fledge ;/ But they do eat lots of bugs and they're just so darn cute!
Veggie Spotlight- Kohlrabi
Any excuse to pull out this photo of my son Charlie, from a few years back... Kohlrabi is in the same family (Brassicaceae) as broccoli and cabbage and cauliflower. It's basically a giant broccoli stem. It can be eaten raw and sliced up like carrots sticks or jicama, or cooked in a variety of ways. For those who need to watch the glycemic index of food, it can substitute for potatoes. You can boil or steam it and puree it with butter and cream. Cut it up in cubes and roast it along with other veggies. Grate it in coleslaw. Make Kohlrabi Home Fries..It's endlessly flexible. It comes to us from Eastern Europe and is quite common there. One important note- the skin is quite tough, you'll need to peel it.
