Update & Share: 7/22/25

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

This week’s share will include:

  • Veggies: Lettuce, Swiss chard, summer squash, beets, eggplant, peppers, sweet corn, cukes, yellow onions, beans, and choice of an herb (parsley, thyme, mint).
  • Add-on shares:
    • Fruit: not this week
    • Flowers: sunflowers or a mixed bouquet
    • Mushrooms: yellow oyster mushroom
    • Eggs: not mentioned in this week’s update from John, but assuming yes

For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Every year I remind our members of the Ratatouille recipe from America’s Test Kitchen which is a quintessential CSA recipe. You’ll have just about everything you need this week (but use canned tomatoes, not the fresh!).
  • We should see some hearty greens for a few more weeks. If you’re looking for a use for this weeks swiss chard, try this white pizza from NYT Cooking. I had never made a white pizza and I surprised just how good it was. I made a few swaps: CSA spinach for the kale, half & half for the cream, and a cast iron skillet for the sheet pan. It made for a great new way to use up some greens that wasn’t just a salad or sauteed.
