Notes on the box.

Tomatoes are finally starting to ripen! There will be more in the coming weeks.
The Watermelon are pretty okay this year. We were on track for a great melon year, but started to get a lot of rain which kind of waters down the flavor. But even watery-watermelons are pretty yummy.
Sweet Corn will come for a couple more weeks. The raccoons found the sweet corn patch and did some serious nomnomnoming out there. We will be putting an electric fence around the next plantings to try to keep them out.
Basil likes to not get wet or cold. I keep it in a vase on my counter.
Garlic! We harvested garlic recently. This garlic isn’t fully cured, but it will hold out of your fridge for a week or two. It’s extra good when it’s this fresh! Enjoy!

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Ricotta and Deneb, our gouda-style cheese. I’m imagining a really lovely pasta dish with the basil and tomatoes and cheese and garlic.

On the Farm.

August! Garlic and Onions have both been harvested and are curing in the barn. It’s pretty fragrant in there! Watermelon and corn are being eaten with gusto around here. The cool weather means no one is asking to go swimming every day and cooking is more enjoyable again. The cows love the cooler weather and are giving more milk now that they are more comfortable.
