Looking for a new idea for watermelon as we get close to the end of melon season? We like making a sweet and savory watermelon salad as a cool, refreshing side dish. We toss chunks of watermelon with mint, feta, and balsamic vinegar and add salt and pepper to taste. The salad is very adaptable - you could substitute basil for the mint or add a minced jalapeño for a little spicy kick. We have also been using watermelon in smoothies, drinks for the kids, and cocktails. Simply scoop out a watermelon onto a cookie sheet and freeze. Our girls love making a fresh drink with coconut milk, watermelon, and lime juice in the blender.

Each week we promise you a provision of sustainable produce with a responsible ecological footprint. We extend our value base into the creation of a strong relationship with our market customers and our members through interaction and communication on a daily basis. From our family to yours, we invite you to enjoy our gorgeous home-grown vegetables either through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
