The first picking of the first planting of green beans is going home this week. If you don't get beans in your share this week, rest assured that there should be many more to come, if they get enough rain. The same goes for this week's cucumbers -- the first picking of the first planting, with more to come. This week's kale is Lacinato -- also known as dinosaur kale. It's best eaten braised rather than raw. And a few of you will receive an Asian cabbage called bok choi which is delicious sauteed with onion. Please remember that peaches ripen very quickly in this weather. We try to pick them hard enough to travel, but they can turn in a matter of hours, so please monitor them closely. If you have any questions, email us at csa@greatcountryfarms.com

About the farm
Great Country Farms is a diversified family farm on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using sustainable growing practices, we raise 50 to 60 crops each year, which we sell to members and visitors. We believe it is important to make clean, nutritionally vibrant food available to as many people as possible. It is our mission to give people a chance to see how their food grows, and we want to preserve the ecosystem of our soil for future generations.
