Fruit Shares are Coming

If you have signed up for a summer fruit share, it’s almost time to enjoy the delicious harvest!

Fruit Share pick-ups will begin August 8th. 

As a reminder, fruit shares will be delivered weekly, and are subject to the same time, location and rules of the other pick-ups (fruit not picked up at the end of the night will be donated to SCS).

If you have not yet signed up for your volunteer hours, please do so now.

Have you ever seen an orange watermelon? Get ready, it’s in your veggie share tomorrow. (And another bag of peaches and apples for the fruit shares–let them ripen outside the bag, please.)

All pickups are August 24th at Sunnyside Community Services from 5-8pm.


Orange Watermelon – Give it a try and see how it compares to last week! Store in the fridge. Use now.


Red Tomatoes – This week is beefsteak tomatoes that have been growing since May. Golden Earthworm sent an email how to know when they’re ripe. Store on the counter. Use now.


Sungold Cherry Tomatoes – Great for snacking and salads. Store on the counter. Use now.


Zucchini We’re on to the last planting of these, so enjoy the final harvest. Store in the fridge. Use within a week.


Peppers – These green frying peppers are not spicy. Store in the fridge. Use within a week.


Swiss Chard – This summer green is back and ready to be pan-fried. Store in the fridge. Use within 3 days.


Cabbage One more week of cabbage this summer. Store in the fridge. Use within a week, but if you wrap it well it can last for longer.

Veggies & Fruit for Aug 17th

You get a watermelon! And you get a watermelon! Watermelons for everyone! (Plus the fruit shares get a bag of peaches and apples–be sure to take them out of the bag when you get home.)

All pickups are August 17th at Sunnyside Community Services from 5-8pm.


Watermelon – Two for each share. They have seeds, and they are grown more for flavor than transportation, so be gentle to avoid cracks. Store in your fridge. Use now.


Yukon Potatoes – These ones are great for potato salad. Store in a cool, dark place. Use within a week.


Zucchini More zucchini, so yum! If it’s getting too much to handle, check out how to freeze it for later. Store in the fridge. Use within a week.


Scallions – This week Golden Earthworm shared a scallion dressing for these bad boys. Store in the fridge. Use within a week.


Cabbage Did someone say they wanted to try grilled cabbage still? Well, here’s your chance. Store in the fridge. Use within a week.


Red Tomatoes – Subtly sweet with a slight bitter and acidic taste. Use now.

Please note that any boxes not picked up by 8pm will be donated to SCS, and items are subject to change. Look for Golden Earthworm Organic Farm CSA on Facebook for more recipes from members!
