Summer Squash Abundance

Posted on July 9th, 2023 by Brittany Reardon

This is the time of year that the summer squash and zucchini can become quite overwhelming. We attempt to harvest them at a small size, as that's when we think they taste the best, but sometimes they get away from us. This is one of those times, so you'll see an item on the list called "Zucchini Bread Zucchini". Each of these zucchinis are gigantic and perfect for baking into bread or muffins.

Some new items are on the list too, including shishito peppers (limited to start) and beans will be here very soon. If you're not familiar with shishito peppers, they are a favorite and anticipated summer crop. They are small, green, mostly mild peppers (it is said that 1 in 10 is hot) that can be used many ways. The classic way to cook them is blistered in olive oil in a hot cast iron pan with salt. You can also roast them or even pickle them for a yummy charcuterie feature. 

As pick ups on the farm become quite hot during the summer months, please note that MEAT and FROZEN ITEMS will be in bags packed with ice packs inside of the gray cooler in the farm stand. Please advise whoever is coming to pick up your share that frozen items are inside this cooler. 

Another important matter: It is vital that members read the CSA emails. This is the primary form of communication with our members and sometimes they contain time-sensitive information. Please be sure to whitelist our email addresses, info@madradishfarm.com and madradishcsa@gmail.com. If you're having any trouble with emails, let us know and we're happy to help!

On that note, if you've read this far, we want to send you a coupon code for a discount on ANY future share in 2023/2024, including fall meat, fall veggie, or any winter or spring share next year. To get your coupon code, simply reply to this email with the words "WHO GROWS FOR YOU" and we'll send you the code!! 

Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you soon!
