Well if you did not read the last farm update. The rain we have been receiving is nice. The plants and everything on the farm recently has been extremely happy. Including me, I feel great when the plants are happy. This week was a great week on the farm. I have probably picked at-least 600-700 pounds of tomato's this week and will continue to do so for the next few weeks. So their are loads of extra's in the front of the building. We already put at-least 2lb. in the boxes, although I know some of you just really love those things;) (Deb;) So they are out front. Help yourself. Their is also a ton of extra summer squash. Their is at-least four in your boxes, but if you want some extra to make bread that is also ok. They will be in the front. We have extra's of pretty much everything you will be receiving so don't be shy. Use your membership card! It will be all over the store, in the cooler's and on the tables in the front. Eggplant is just starting. The one's in your boxes are the tiny white one's. They are the first fruit and not super pretty but very edible. They will get much prettier as the season progresses. I recommend peeling the skin off and slicing up. I dip the pieces in egg-yoke and batter in very light flower. I fry in pan on stove with just a hint of butter and teaspoon or two of oil. They are excellent to eat and have the consistency of a potato. Eggplant is a vegetable that is widely overlooked because people don't know how to cook it. So make sure you give it a shot. Eggplant are loaded with phytonutrients. Also I put a bunch of recipe's on the blog. Be sure to reference these because they will give you idea's on how to prepare the vegetables you receive.
