As the fall CSA kicks off, we hope everyone has been able to dive into their first box from this week, and is enjoying the last tastes of summer and the first flavors of fall!
Next week’s box can be picked up Wednesday, Oct 12th. The box will include:
– Arugula
– Baby Kale “Red Russian”
– Baby Mustard Greens “Ruby Streaks”
– Green Beans
– Garlic
– Carmen “Corno del Toro” Italian Frying Peppers
– Aji Dulce Sweet Peppers
– Sweet Potatoes
The sweet potatoes will be fresh & uncured, and that starchiness will make them perfect for whipping up some sweet potato fries!
Remember those bags! In case you missed it, here is our new pick up procedure:
– Boxes can be picked up any time on Wednesday after 2pm
– Your labeled box will be in clear tupperware in the glass front cooler
– Transfer the contents of the tupperware to your reusable bag (the tupperware stays on the farm)
– Enjoy your box!
Here’s an easy recipe for the week!
Sofrito From Scratch:
– 4 aji dulce peppers
– 9 medium cloves of peeled garlic
– 1 medium onion (chop into big chunks)
– 2 cubanelle peppers (or our corno del toro peps, remove stems & seeds, chop in large chunks)
– 1 bell pepper (remove seeds and roughly chop)
– 2 roma (or similar paste-type) tomatoes (cut into chunks)
– 1 bunch of cilantro (or add according to taste, wash and roughly chop)
– Kosher salt (add to taste)
Steps:
– Add onions and cubanelles into a food processor or blender, and blend until coarsely chopped
– Add remaining ingredients to the mix and blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.
– Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for later use. Makes ~ 2 cups.
Happy eating y’all!
