We finally got a taste of dry weather this week, which was important for our existing crop care, new plantings, and pushing back on the vigorous weeds. The crops are loving it all. This week we have 25 different items to choose from:) There is bit less volume of most the crops, so we encourage you to customize your box using the swap feature and to set your preferences in your member account. Please note, we are opening the swap time period earlier than normal today, and it will end a few hours earlier than normal at 2pm on Thursday so we can get a jump on the weekly harvesting.
Tomatoes and dill are our featured items this week, and both are full of flavor:) Also look for a sweet muir lettuce head in your share and your salad is almost done. In addition to the recipes available through our online sysytem, we found a great tomato dill salad recipe for you to try here:) Did you know that dill is a good source of vitamin C, which can give a strong boost to your body's immune system? Give it a shot, verses getting a shot;)
By the way, for those of you with curious palettes I recommomend that you try out the Dill-infused blonde ale at Leatherback Brewing Company who hosts our primary pick up spot. We found in our official product testing at the last pick-up that it goes great with lunch;) For those of you with growler shares, it could be your weekly winner.
Thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy this week's picks to their fullest,
Nate & the Farm Crew
