In the Box; Week 9


Note from the farm:
What a great box we have for you this week! This last week of July is when we usually start to hit the peak of the harvest. The garlic and potatoes are ready, and we can start harvesting the hot weather crops like peppers & cukes. Our tomatoes are looking great – they’re still green, but it won’t be long until they’re red and ready to pick. Farmer Matt predicts that we will have cherry tomatoes ready for the shares some time in the next 2 weeks…
The potatoes in this week’s share are either Red Norland or Yukon Gold, or a mix of the two. They’re both waxy varieties that are great boiled, or steamed and enjoyed as a salad or mashed.

Zucchini – 2 pieces
Red Norland Potatoes or Yukon Gold Potatoes – 3 lb. bag
Cucumber – 1 piece

FRUIT STORAGE INFORMATION
Leave peaches at room temperature, or put them in a paper bag. This does help – the ethylene gas given off by the ripening fruit is trapped in the bag and speeds up the process.
Berries should be kept in the fridge.
