Notes on the box
The fresh garlic is not cured, so should be stored in the fridge and used within the next few weeks. Same with the onions.
Zukes and summer squash are still going strong! Cucumbers are making a comeback after the heat knocked off blossoms and young fruit.
Remove tops from beets for best storage. Tops are edible and quite yummy!
Cabbage! It’s slaw time!
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
This week we have fresh cheese curds and the cheese that happens when we press them together into a wheel of cheese! Cheddar cheese is the types of cheese that has the curds go through the milling process (that’s the part where the fresh cheese curds come in). The milled curds are salted and pressed into a wheel or more commonly a big block. It’s difficult to press with enough pressure to completely close the rind, so some flaws are normal in this cheese. You might get a little bit of blue mold sneaking in! Don’t be shy, you can eat it!

On the Farm.
This Saturday we are excited to be part of the Eat Local Coop Farm Tour! We will have guided tours/ hay rides every hour on the hour and self guided tours all day. We will have cheese, veggies, and meat for sale in our farm store, so be sure to bring a cooler if you want to stock up! We will also be grilling and have some good road snacks, drinks (including cold press!) available. 10-4 this Saturday!
We had a wonderful visit from photographer Scott Streble! He took lots of amazing pictures of the farm. Check them out! Then come see it in person this Saturday!
