Notes on the box.

It’s still pretty green and leafy, but the summer crops are growing beautifully.
Napa Cabbage makes an amazing Summer slaw or great in a stir fry.
Remove tops from green-top carrots as soon as you get them home so the carrots stay crunchy. The greens are edible and can be made into a pesto. Give them a taste to see how you like the flavor. After a winter of storage carrots, these are really exceptionally tasty!
Remove tops from radishes, also. The radish tops are edible and can be used along with your arugula. They are both a little bit spicy greens.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Deneb is our gouda style of cheese, but it has a natural, uncoated rind. It’s good for snacking or making a quick cheese plate when you don’t want to cook dinner. Include sliced radishes, cured meat or fish if you have some, nuts, fruit or jam, and crackers.
Our cows milk feta is really good on a pizza or flatbread. Or in a Spinach Feta omelette. If you want to save it for longer than a week, you can make a brine to store it in. Mix 2 tsp salt into 2 cups of water and keep it that way in the fridge.

On the Farm.

It was brought to our attention last week that some of the bagged greens went bad right away. We are really sorry that that made it into the shares. Our cooler went out on Tuesday and when we checked the greens on Wednesday before packing boxes we believed them to be alright. We got the cooler fixed and delivered boxes on Thursday, but when we opened ours in for dinner on Friday we were sad to see the state of them and a CSA member alerted us that theirs was already in rough shape, too. We wanted to let you know what happened and hope that if you got a bag of greens that were already turning, that’s what happened. Cooler is back up and running and things are back to being fresh and beautiful in the boxes.
It’s still pretty leafy out there! But we have some summer crops that are growing along beautifully. Cucumbers and Summer Squash will be here before you know it.
