July 11 & 13 Update

Hello everyone!

I hope that you are all excited for your extra servings of fresh fruit this week!

I have great news for our FULL share members. We added raspberries to your boxes this week.
That means that FULL shares are getting:
    • Blueberries
    • Peaches
    • Cherries
    • Raspberries
The cherries in your shares this week are sweet.
The peaches in your share are white peaches. They are less acidic than the yellow peaches and slightly sweeter.
They may be on the firmer side so that they do not bruise during packing. To soften:
  • place on your counter, out of the fridge until they achieve your desired texture
  • put in the fridge once soft until you are ready to eat
  • to ripen faster place in a brown paper bag on your counter
Just a reminder that you should not wash your blueberries or cherries until you are ready to eat them. This will encourage softening and thus will spoil faster.
We have some new items at our farm markets this week:

Eggplant
Peppers
Baby Spinach
several different types of Kale
Mozzarella (great for zucchini parmesan!)
