Farm Share # 9, August 2, 2018


Today's Share: hot peppers, escarole, choice of kale or chard, summer squash, cucumbers, beans, basil, beets, carrots, green garlic, salad mix, herbs (garlic chives in this share), two choosing items (snow peas and broccolini in this sample), and one tomato
Plus we had some fun new items!

Gladioli

Green garlic -
garlic that has not been cured for storage and is extra juicy and fresh.

Heirloom squash from Argentina, Zappallo de Tronco

First tomatoes in the shares, Red Racer

Both this week and last week not all the escarole was taken.  I know it's a matter of personal taste but I'll try to post some recipes for using it.  Basically, escarole is in the chicory family, like dandelion or radicchio.  It can be cooked or used as a salad green.  For starters, check out our recipe blog post about salads without lettuce.  The recipe blog is a great spot to look for ideas for using your share since its focus is on the vegetables that we like to grow and eat here at Sweet Morning Farm.  Explore, expand, enjoy!
