Week 6: C.S.A. Distribution



Dear C.S.A. Community,

Another week is here and we have lots of food. One of the items that you will be receiving is called Gongura. I am sure most of you have not had it. It is an indian delicacy. It is in everyone's box. It has a red stem and the leaves are what are edible. Nibble on the leaf to get a sense of the flavor. It is very tangy and has a citrus taste. It goes great in stir fry. Use as you would any other herb. Great to dice up and put into salads as well. Pepper's are finally here and they look excellent!!!!!! This week's boxes have a great assortment of vegetables. Please Remember the herb beds @ the farm. They are loaded!

Week 6: 


  • Peppers 
  • Zucchini
  • Kohlrabi
  • Lettuce
  • Onion
  • Gongura
  • Cucumbers
  • Cabbage
  • Eggplant
Enjoy!

Chris
P.S. If you have any questions we can alway's be reached @ 319-895-6480

Week 5:) C.S.A. Distribution

Dear C.S.A. Community,

Another week is here already. The farm is bursting with growth. Each member will start getting garlic in your box. I want to remind everyone that fresh garlic is strong. Don't use the whole bulb. Set it on your counter and break it open when you are ready to use it. Each bulb contains small cloves inside. These are what you want to use when you cook with it.



Important notes:

YMCA PICK-UP:

 For everyone that Picks-Up @ the YMCA it is still on it's regular schedule this week, even though the actual facility is closed for cleaning. The lobby will still be open for C.S.A. members & the boxes will be their on their usual day.

I had a few questions about extra's and I would like to explain how the system works. Your membership cards have punches on them. Each vegetable symbol represents an extra. They are available Thursday-Sunday only, as we are picking Monday-Wednesday. So if you want or need additional come in and what is available will be in the cooler in the store. Present your card to Brett or Rose and they will punch your card. Extra's vary in quantity each week, and variety. This is because the extra's are the veggie's that are left-over after the boxes have been equally packed.




Herbs:

These are alway's available @ the farm. We have wonderful herbs bed that all of you should take advantage of. Herbs are extremely expensive in the grocery store. Come to the farm and help yourself. They are conveniently located directly next to the parking lot. Their are scissors in the store,  just ask.

Member Discount: All goods in store are always 30%.

Vegetables This Week:

  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Cucumbers
  • Green Zuc's
  • Yellow Zuc's
  • Kale
  • Cabbage
  • Potato's
I hope everyone is enjoying their share and as alway's if you have any questions you can contact us at the farm at 319-895-6480



Thanks Chris
