CSA Week #5 (A)

 

July16, 17 & 18, 2025

Hot weather harvests are coming in! Our famous carrots crown the boxes this week. Sweet, crunchy & flavorful! Just remember to remove the tops before you store them to keep them fresh. You can use the tops (carrot top chimichurri is delish!) or give them to your pet bunny! 🐇

Have a beautiful week, friends!

Our Favorite Recipes

Maggie’s Basil Pesto
We smother this on pasta and grilled zucchini for a quick “Farmer’s Dinner” on late working nights.

Seared Radicchio & Mozzarella
Cooking radicchio mellows its flavor.

Penne with Caramelized Onions & Radicchio

Carrot Top Chimichurri
A great way to use up those carrot tops!

Zucchini Cake
A sweet way to use up zucchini. I adjust down the sugar and substitute freshly-ground einkorn flour and olive oil for a healthier twist.
