Welcome! Important Stuff: Please Read

We are thrilled to enter a new CSA season with renewed energy and fresh crops!  Here are a couple items to note:

  • You can expect this customization email every Sunday by 9am (no exact time specified)
  • NEW this season, we have bread from Tender Earth Baking in Clark Fork.  Check for a separate email about the details, but you can sign up for a weekly loaf here https://www.harvie.farm/farm/moose-meadow-farm/signup or buy week-to-week.  If you buy week-to-week, please try to place your order by Sunday at 5pm.  We can probably accommodate you after that, but it makes it harder on the baker, Chad, to have to adjust the orders on Monday since this is long-fermented sourdough.
  • Due to our own crop failure, we are selling garlic from Ben and Clare at Allicin's Ranch in Moyie Springs.  It is certified organic.
  • We will be using a NEW, INDOOR DISTRIBUTION SITE for Sandpoint members from November 15 through the last delivery.  The new site is Bluebird Bakery on 1st and Cedar.
  • We have an EARLIER PICK UP TIME ALL SEASON: 4:00-5:30 SANDPOINT and 2:30-6:30 CLARK FORK  

It is the nature of the fall farming season that you won't see new offerings each week, but you will see the same crops offered pretty reliably week to week, so you can cycle through the list and try everything!  In our house, we are particularly excited about Koji, Starry Night acorn squash and fresh cilantro!  See our recipe for fresh herb pesto, below.

Herb Pesto Recipe (think chimichurri!)

2 bunches herbs (cilantro, parsley or dill or a combination)

2 large cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

juice of 1 lemon

3/4 cup walnuts or hefty seeds like pumpkin

1 dried hot chile or 1 tsp hot chile flakes

Blend everything in a food processor, taste and adjust salt, spice and acidity to your liking, then store in a jar in the fridge for up to a week.  Use on sandwiches, crackers, eggs, roasted vegetables or meat!
