We know most of our Veggie Box folks like lettuce and cilantro.
That's why we have it scheduled for regular plantings.
Over 20 plantings a year, in fact.
But, if you remember back 6 weeks ago almost every field was flooded. Therefore, there is a gap in the lettuce and cilantro harvest.
They'll be BACK in a couple of weeks!

FOR THOSE WHO "ADDED-ON" FRUIT SHARES, JULY 22 - JULY 27
An AMAZING trick that I am THRILLED about helps these fruits last for a week or longer.
Make a vinegar fruit wash:
1. Fill a large bowl with 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water.
2. Add your berries, immersing them under the water for a couple of minutes.
3. Scoop your berries out and transfer to a colander.
4. Spread out on a towel and allow to air dry.
5. Transfer to a storage container.
This week's forecast prediction - Blueberry and cherry

At the last delivery, a CSA members asked what to do with her chard?
RPFarsm's chard is in abundance right now.
Here are some of the ideas that were shared by other CSA farm share members at the pick-up site.
* Chard is great paired with pork. Bacon, ham, sausage.
* Cut into small bite sized pieces
* Cut & Cook the stalk pieces first, because the cook time is longer
* Does not take long to cook the greens
* Pairs well with onions
Ways to eat chard:
* Great in frittata (egg casserole)
* Grain dishes

* Occasionally Fruit
