What’s in the box?

Notes on the box.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Feta and Cygnus, our aged Swiss style. Our swiss doesn’t have the holes that you find in a lot of swiss cheese because we don’t have the aging spaces with different temperature that are required to make the holes happen. It’s still got a lovely swiss flavor and we’ve had several people say “I dont usually like swiss!” that have enjoyed Cygnus (including myself!) It’s excellent on a mushroom swiss burger or with roasted cauliflower.
The feta is wonderful for salads or on pizza. I’m thinking it’s time for roasted beet salad with feta with these beautiful beets that are in the box!

Quick Summer Veggie Pasta Dinner
While water is boiling for pasta (any type is fine), Sautee a diced a red bell pepper, onion, garlic clove minced, sweet corn cut off of 2 ears of corn, and a diced zucchini in oil (or bacon grease or butter) until veggies are tender and starting to carmelize a little. Shred a good amount of flavorful cheese (such as Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cygnus!). Save a cup or so of pasta water before draining pasta. Toss veggies, cheese, and pasta together, add some pasta water if needed to make more saucy. Serve with red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

On the FArm.

Cukes and Zukes are winding down. The backs of our farm crew are feeling a great deal of relief about this news! Cukes and zukes are some of the first fruits of the season (first veggies that aren’t leafy or roots). They are welcomed with so much excitement and we eat so many as they come in, but after a few weeks of picking these heavy veggies that grow so low to the ground and need to be picked multiple times per week, there’s a bit of “peace out, zukes and cukes!” energy happening. We still have some picking left to do, but we are excited to welcome more tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, and soon melons!
