 Adding Healthy Food Options

Healthy local food, and a healthy local food system are very important to all of us at Abundantly Green. We are working hard to make our farm a sustainable part of the local food system. As you know, this is not an easy task given the fluctuations in weather and the alternatives that all of us have from the conventional sources. Difficulties and competition present ongoing challenges that we have stepped up to meet successfully, for you, our CSA members, and for our farmers market customers.

You received the goat milk, cow milk, and fruit enthusiastically. The milk will be available each week. We lowered the temperature of one of our coolers to accommodate the requirements for milk. Order kefir grains from Hansville Creamery and make your own kefir. Vicky will tell you how to do it. You can use raw goat or cow milk. Prices for milk is below. The introductory price of cow's milk ends this week. It will be the regular price starting August 10.

The fruit will be available as long as Rob Story has it.

 New This Week: Personal Roast Coffee

This week, we are adding locally roasted Personal Roast Coffee. A gift of the coffee from Personal Roast Coffee is in your CSA bag this week. It is organic, fair-trade, and artisan-roasted daily. The coffee is available to order through us for pickup with your CSA share. We cannot sell it separately at the farmers markets. Please call or e-mail us to order. Available in one pound bags, for $10 a pound. Order it on the signup sheet.

IT'S A NEW WEEK!

Last week had so many troubles – bee stings, dogs in accidents, and allergy attacks -- that we are trying to forget it. Unfortunately, we never updated our blog, either. That said, we are moving on to the nicest weeks of year, so far. Today is sunny and very warm.

In your bag

• Kohlrabi
• Potatoes
• Snap Peas
• Arugula
• Salad Mix

• Red Oak Leaf
• Flashy Troutback
• Green Romaine

• Large shares have an additional item.

The shares are increasing in size as our garden recovers from our miserable spring.

Last week, we introduced potatoes. The All Reds are going gangbusters. They have a paper-thin red skin and a red flesh. They make great mashed or smashed potatoes that are a deep reddish pink.

This week we have kohlrabi, and brassica that is very versatile. The main feature is a 2 to 3 inch bulbed stem that is delicious however you choose to eat it, cooked or raw. The leaves, which look especially lovely, can be used in cooked greens and stir fry. I like to use the whole plant in stir fry, slicing the bulb into cubes and chopping the leaves. Kohlrabi takes on the flavor of your seasonings, so it is well-behaved in most dishes.

We are now a pick up for fruit, raw goats milk, and raw cows milk.
