Note from the farm:
The tomatoes are finally coming in, and they’re looking beautiful – and tasting delicious! The baby arugula is super tender at this stage, so be sure to wash gently and toss with a light dressing. Anything heavy will kill its delicate flavor!
We were hoping to include basil in the shares this week, but we noticed a black fuzz on the bottom of the leaves when we started picking it this morning. We have later plantings that we hope will look better! And eggplant would usually start appearing in the shares around this time, except we lost the crop to the potato beetle earlier in the season. Farmer Matt promises to write a full farm report some time in the coming weeks, so stay tuned…

Nectarines, White & Yellow Peaches – 1 mixed bag
**The white peaches are picked very ripe and bruise easily. Be sure to refrigerate and use immediately.
** A Note on Tomatoes…
The tomatoes have been sprayed with copper as a preventative for late blight fungus. This spray is certified for use in organic production, but must be washed off before eating. Also be sure to ripen red tomatoes completely on the counter before eating! They should be a deep red and slightly soft to the touch. Cherry tomatoes are picked ripe and ready to eat.
