Update & Share: 9/3/24

To view Farmer John’s latest update, click here.

This week’s share will include: 

  • Veggies: swiss chard, beans, red onions, beets, spaghetti squash, shishito peppers, bok choy, red-skin potatoes, sweet corn, and choice of an herb.
  • Add-on shares:
    • Fruit: Sweetie apples and Santa Rosa plums
    • Flowers: sunflowers
    • 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:

  • Looking back through old CSA posts, I believe this is only the 4th time in the last 5+ years that we received shishito peppers. One of them was earlier this year but it was a “B” week so those like me with a half share missed them. I’m looking forward to give them a try since they are not something I have much experience cooking. I plan on keeping it very simple… Toss them with oil, throw them in a fully preheated heavy skillet, cook until they blister and have some dark splotches, sprinkle with some crunchy finishing salt. Sounds like a great chef’s treat while dinner cooks!
