ITS OFFICIALLY BLUEBERRY SEASON!
We have said goodbye to our strawberries for the summer, but were moving on to another delicious, native fruit.
Blueberry season is probably my favorite part of the summer. I have such fond childhood memories of picking blueberries at my Grampa's farm in VT, so I might be a little biased for that reason. I'm so ready for anything blueberry! Pancakes, jam, and blueberry topped salads, just to name a few!
We wont have corn this week, but I've heard rumors that its just around the CORNer! I did recently take a walk though the sweet corn fields. The stalks are almost as tall as I am, and they have that beautiful yellow tassel at the very top signaling that its almost time!
If you have any recipes you'd like to share I would love to featuring member suggested recipes! Just send them to csa@warnerfarm.com :) Thanks in advance!
Here are some helpful tips :)
If you find something missing from your share or forget to pick up your share REACH OUT TO US! If you don't pick up your share on your delivery day you will have 24 hours to contact me to arrange an alternative pick up. This could be a pick up at a different location, or we just send it again the next week with that weeks share! If you are missing an item from your box please contact me as well. I am more than happy to send a replacement item the next week, or give you a refund.
Use a computer NOT a phone or tablet for customizing and avoid the Internet Explorer browser. The Harvie website sometimes has a few glitches when accessed on these devices. For the smoothest experience I heavily suggest accessing your Harvie account and customizing your share through a computer or laptop, with a browser like Chrome.
To customize click the button in your email. You have 48 hours until the window closes to complete your customizations. You can swap things in and out of your box, OR add in extras beyond what you have already paid for! If you are having trouble customizing your order use this link for an in-depth explanation.
If you received "credit" from one of our signup incentives, you will see it in your account as a positive "balance". This "Harvie Balance" should be visible on the customization screen and will be automatically used as soon as possible. This means, if you are on the payment plan, it will be applied to your share price the first week. If you paid in full, it will be applied the first time you add extra items to your share.

Recipe of the week: Grilled English Shelling Peas!
I would have NEVER thought to grill shelling peas, but this recipe looks too good not to try! You don't have to spend any time before cooking shelling the peas. Just toss the whole thing in some olive oil and salt and throw those little guys on the grill! You shell them as you eat :) The recipe also suggests that you can add balsamic vinegar and mint (also available in this weeks share) for a kick! Also, if you save the pods, cooked or raw, you can use than as an addition in making stock or broth!
