Week 17 of Harmony Valley Farm‘s CSA (blog) contained the following:
- Yellow onions,
- Italian garlic,
- Green beans,
- Edamame,
- Sweet corn,
- Tomato variety bag: You’ll have a mix that could include Carolina Gold (yellow), a variety of black tomatoes, Copia (striped heirloom type), Rose (pink heirloom type) and some red slicing tomatoes.
- Grape tomatoes,
- Carrots,
- Squash,
- Cucumbers,
- Watermelon,
- Melon,
- Poblano peppers,
- Jalapeños,
- Bell pepper,
- Amaranth,
- Salad Mix,
- Eggplant, and
- Cauliflower
As the veggies have gotten more familiar, we’ve been able to eat a lot more of them in any given week. Â We ate pretty much everything this week. Â Last weekend we actually bought a bunch of small cucumbers and pickled them! Â Hopefully you’ll be seeing more about this later.
This week we took part in Harmony Valley’s Produce Plus program. Â They just started offering it this week, but you are able to purchase quantities of certain vegetables that they have a lot of sitting around the farm. Â Most of them are “seconds” which have minor defects that prevent them from being sold on the market. Â Instead of letting them go to waste Harmony Valley is allowing their members to purchase them at reasonable rate. We bought 25 pounds of tomatoes for $25. Yikes! Â We hope to spend some time this weekend canning them.
Wish us luck!
