Good Morning CSA Friends,
  
I hope that all of you have been getting to enjoy this nice sunny weather! The cool weather is interesting!
  
Please remember to pick your basket up between 8-10 am Saturday at the farmer's market.
Farm tour is next weekend from 3-5.
  
In your basket you will find the following USDA Certified Organic Produce.
  
Attached you'll find Amanda's favorite sweet potato pie recipe.  She says it's very "potato-ish" and not overly buttery like many sweet potato casseroles (although there is plenty of butter in the recipie).  It's also good if you cut the butter in half. 
  
We also frequently make roasted sweet potatoe chips and fries by lightly coating thinly sliced strips or rounds of sweet potatoe in olive oil and roasting at 375-400 degrees for about 20-30 minutes, turning once in the middle.  Adding a little salt and rosemary OR red pepper powder make them extra tasty.
  
SIncere thanks,!

  • 1 # Potatoes. A mixture of Kennebec, Chieftain Reds and Yukon Gold.
  • 2 # Sweet Potatoes-my right hand man Mackey Williams helped me dig these this week. I apologize that there is still some dirt on them. They were still too moist to get all of the dirt off.
  • Bunch of Beets. Three Varieties. These are beautiful. You can cook the greens down. Our favorite way to use the root part is to roast them in the oven with potatoes.\\\
  • 4 Peppers
  • Small head of Lettuce. A couple people that get extremely small heads of lettuce will also get a head of bok choi
  • 1# Tomatoes
  • 2 Butternut squash
  • A bunch of Broccoli. I’ve debated on whether mentioning this to you or not, but there is a possibility that some of your heads will have some small worms in them. A mixed blessing of USDA Certified Organic Crops. Spring time has less chance of worms, but less likely chance of having a good crop.  To get rid of the worms, submerse the broccoli in salt water for 15 minutes. Worms will float to the top.
