5 Beets
Sm. bg. Garlic Scapes

1 Lg. bunch Yellow/Orange Chard
1 Lg. bunch Basil
2 Sm. heads Cabbage
Lg. crate Strawberries

 

Second CSA from Kretschmann Farm

I apologize now that I do not have a picture to share…I took pictures, but then sat my camera down and the house ate it! As soon as I am able to post the picture, I will — hopefully before we leave for our vacation on Monday! There are pictures for you now!

Here’s what was in our crate:

2 baskets Strawberries (so big and so good!)
1 bunch Flat Leaf Parsely
1 sm. bunch Kale
1 sm. head Broccoli
12 Radishes (good-sized)
1 bg. Spinach
1 bg. Spring Mix/Salad Greens
1 bg. Pea Greens (which are awesome, tangy & taste like peas!)
1 XLg. Red Leaf Lettuce
2 sm. Romain Lettuce

Once again we have lots of fantastic salad fodder. This past week has been incredibly hot and humid, but we have had a couple days of reprieve from the heat and humidity. Next week we won’t be getting our crate of ‘green goodness’, because we’ll be on vacation, but I am sure that whoever gets our share will be happy, no doubt!

If you want to know more about the farm our produce is hailing from, please refer to my first CSA post for links to the farm.

 

First CSA from Kretschmann Farm

CSA1-1

We received our first share from the farm. Here’s what was in our crate:

2 bgs Spring Mix/Salad Greens
1 lg. & 1 sm. Head of Bibb Lettuce
1 bg. Spinach
1 XLg. Kale Bunch
5 Radishes (good-sized)
1 bg. of Fresh Herbs (Oregano, Thyme and Sage)
20 oz. Loaf of 7 Grain Bread from Friendship Farm in the Laurel Highlands
1 oz. sample each of French Herb Chevre and Feta made of Goat’s milk from River View Dairy*

*we obviously didn’t ask for this since it’s not vegan, but I am sure that whoever gets it from us will be happy*

We have lots of fantastic salad fodder, which is good because it was too hot today to cook much! It’s 82, but feels like 87 and it’s almost 10PM! I can’t wait until next week or the week after when the broccoli and cauliflower are ready! We are excited and pleased all around.

I have more pictures here and here of the bounty.
