September 12 & 14 Update

Good Morning Everyone!

The apples in your shares this week are McIntosh. They are a slightly tart apple with a crispy skin and a tender flesh. They are excellent for cooking or for snacking.

 You have beets in your shares this week. Remember that the tops are excellent sautéed like kale or swiss chard.  I increase the shelf life of your beets, remove the tops and store separately. The beet tops should be prepared within 2-3 days while the beets themselves can keep for up to 2 weeks!

 You have Cherokee Red lettuce today. It is crispy in texture similar to Romaine and is full of Vitamins A, K and Potassium.

 Your colored peppers will be either yellow or orange today. The full shares will contain both.

Remember to start sending your pictures in for our 2013 photo contest.
