Here We Go Again

Hello Everyone,
It is amazing to us that it's time to start again. We hope that you've missed the veggies as much as we have.
It has been a busy week getting ready for our first CSA day. Thank you to all of you that joined us for our second year. We really appreciate you telling your friends about us because our CSA has really grown this year. It's so exciting to have so many new members. Our community continues to grow just like the garden.
I thought I would go over the rules and regulations =) since we do have so many new members. First of all, please feel free to contact us at any time. If there is something not right with your order or you want to change your delivery or you have a question just email us or call us. My email is alejandramahoney@gmail.com and phone# si 878-1456. Jerry's is jerrymahoneyjm@yahoo.com and phone# 878-1744. if we are delivering to you and you won't be home, just leave your bag by the front door and we'll pick up the empty and give you a full one.
This week in your bag--oh by the way we chose the Trader Joes bags because they are durable and hold a lot of fruits and vegetables. We don't need to manufacture more bags just so they'll have our name on them. It's more sustainable this way. So.... in your bag..

Broccoli Raab- the big leafy stuff that has tiny broccoli buds on it. It is so nutritious and you can put it in anything. Blanch it in salted water first and then you can stir fry it add it to soup, or eat it like spinach

Carrots- I'm lucky if I can wrestle one of these away from the kids.

Green /Red Onions - these are great grilled- just sprinlkle a little olive oil and salt on them, grill and eat.

Parsley and Cilantro-it's fun to have the kids try and figure out which is which.

Kale-- the dark green kinda bumpy leaves- great in soups

Strawberries- from our very own garden-- we couldn't believe our first planting would do so well. They'll just get sweeter and sweeter.

Blueberries-- the blueberries are the only item that is not certified organic. Our friend Gary Teixeira is a local farmer and they are so good we couldn't pass them up.


Beets- you can boil the tops and bottoms. Our favorite way to eat them is to roast them with the carrots--A little olive oil drizzled over the top and put them in the oven until they're tender.

Cabbage- We make a coleslaw with a cilantro dressing. Just blend some cilantro, lemon juice and mayo in the blender and pour over thinly sliced cabbage. We also put this cabbage salad in out tacos.

Red Leaf Lettuce and Green Leaf Lettuce-- these two lettuces were picked right before we delivered. They are so tender and sweet. If they were wilted or crushed in your bag please let us know. It does happen sometimes. We mixed them together with coarsely chopped carrots and some roasted beets for dinner tonight- everyone loved it.

Broccoli- tiny florets and carrots are a great lunch time snack.

Again, Thank you so much for your support. We are so happy to be able to share our harvest with you.
