Did I tell you the tomatoes were ripe?! And the tomatillos are tossing themselves on the ground as they become big, yellow and sweet/sour. Time for some Salsa Verde on the farm table.
This week, Dill Sauerkraut will be making another appearance. And, hopefully, some delicious zucchini pickles with just the right amount of spice and sweetness.
The slicer tomatoes, Willamette and Moskvich, are beginning to ripen and make outstanding BLT’s and Caprese salads. The roma tomatoes, Saucey and San Marzano, are also ripening and make bold salsas and spaghetti sauce.
The eggplants are taking their own sweet time but they will be gracing the pre-order boxes and the farm stand soon with purple beauty. Keep checking the website “Farm Fresh” page for what’s available this week.
The Minnesota Midgets and Oregon Delicious melons are also on their way. The fruits keep filling out more and I’m just waiting for that first scent of melon to perfume the high tunnel and let me know they’re ready for you.
I just noted the beginning color change on the Lunchbox Peppers this week. That excites me! They are super tasty and look gorgeous on the farm table and in any dish you want to put them in from salads to sautes to the grill. The California Wonder Bell peppers aren’t far behind, as well as the Jalapenos. Keep an eye out for when they become available, too.
Thank you to all who come to the Farm Stand and Pre-order their produce each Friday. I appreciate your patronage!
