July 18 & 20 CSA Update

Hello everyone!

We have lots of fresh produce for you this week!  Basil and eggplant are both new as well as 8-ball squash.

Your green squash is an 8-ball squash (full share members have 2, one yellow and one green). It is essentially a round zucchini. 

It is excellent for grilling and for zucchini parmesan and also is wonderful for stuffing. Just core it out like a pumpkin, scoop out some of the seeds (they are few and very small) and stuff with a mix of veggies, ground meats, rice, and even (if you are feeling adventurous) cheese :)

This is one of my favorite veggies to work with.

Your onion is a fresh white onion. It still has the top attached. To keep for later just remove the top and place in a cool dry place. The top can be used like a scallion in soups, salads, or any of your favorite dishes.

Your peaches are yellow peaches this week.

Murray Hill, Bowker, Linde, and Samsung Members:

Your basil is separate from your shares this week. It is in a bag with water to keep it fresh for you.

HALF SHARES: TAKE ONE BAG
FULL SHARES: TAKE TWO

There is an exact number in your locations buckets so please only take your assigned amount.

Purple carrots have the exact same flavor as orange carrots. Just a little more colorful.

Please remove your radish tops as soon as you get home and discard. This will help to keep your radishes fresher longer.

White eggplant is slightly sweeter than purple eggplant.

Enjoy your shares this week and please let me know if you have any questions: stonyhillcsa@gmail.com
