This week’s share will include: 

• Veggies: sweet corn, beets, Swiss chard, tomatoes, gold potatoes, scallions, lettuce, beans, melons, and choice of an herb.
• Add-on shares:
  • Fruit: peaches & apples (fruit was not available in time last week, this week’s fruit is a makeup for last week)
  • Flowers: no flowers this week
  • Mushrooms: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
  • Eggs: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
• For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

• I often find that I struggle with using the CSA melons. They aren’t a big hit with my family and there’s only so much honeydew I can do so I went looking for some new ideas…
  • Something I am sure I saw in old cookbooks and forgot all about: wrap some prosciutto around a piece of melon for a sweet and salty nibble (kinda like Summer’s answers to bacon wrapped dates?)
  • The Kitchn combines melon ribbons (hopefully you have a mandoline) with some tender herbs and roughly chopped nuts for a summery side
  • We all have bananas in the freezer right? This recipe combines them with melon and yogurt to make a smoothie
