This week’s share will include:

• Veggies: Swiss chard, choice of arugula or broccoli raab, lettuce, yellow
  onions, colored peppers, summer squash, beets with tops, kohlrabi or Napa cabbage, tomatoes, purple potatoes, sweet corn, edamame soybeans, and choice of an herb (parsley, thyme, basil).
• Add-on shares:
  • Fruit: ginger gold apples & bartlett pears
  • Flowers: finished for the season
  • Mushrooms: chestnuts or lion’s mane
  • Eggs: not mentioned in this week’s update from John, but assuming yes

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

Serving Suggestions:

• Edamame returns this week. By my searching, we had the soybeans early last October but prior to the previous time was all the way back in 2017! In case you need some ideas, I gathered some interesting sounding edamame recipes to share here:
  • Many edamame recipes fall into the “ginger, garlic & spicy” realm. This one from Inspired Taste had the best looking thumbnail.
  • A different take was this one for Crispy Parmesan Garlic Edamame (although I kinda doubt the “crispy” part)
  • If eating them from the shell isn’t for you, you could try either of these NYT Cooking recipes and turn your soybeans into an Edamame Tofu Dip or Stir Fried Succotash with Edamame.
