Notes from the Farm
And I thought I was a windbag... Oh man, that was a doozy. We were lucky at the farm, Irene didn't really mess anything up... she mostly just blew the ripe Sungolds off the vine (note no sungolds in the share). We're fortunate really, so many people were pushed to the brink or lost most of what they hold dear... we lost some boutique food.
Still, we were without power at the field and had to improvise... which is always exciting. I love having to overcome challenges, it brings out the weirder parts of my personality. Power or no power, THE SHARE MUST GO ON! Needless to say, we put our efforts into harvesting and washing, against all odds, and the letter from the farm will be minimal... we'll make it all up to you next week.
Hope you all survived the storm.
Recipes
I recommend that you folks check out some great CSA sites out there this week... if you have power or access to the internet. Epicurious.com is a great site...
Remember, Radicchio needs to be treated with skilled hands, fennel doesn't always taste like licorice, shallots are a delicate and delightful allium and husk cherries are for more than just snacking!
Sorry again for the short CSA letter... Enjoy the share!
