Dear friends,



We finally got a little bit of rain last week (I prayed and I danced!). 0.25” is enough to wet the top few inches of soil, and perhaps begin the germination process of recently seeded cover crops. Forecasts are hinting that more may be coming in the next couple weeks. I’m happy for the reprieve from dust, reduction in fire danger, and the beginning of a cycle of green growth and renewal. It’s drop dead gorgeous around here right now.

-John

Cover crop from previous years - what we are looking forward to!

Mushroom Share CSA

This week, the bags will be a mix of Maitake and Trumpet mushrooms.

Trumpet mushrooms shine in this Soy Glazed Trumpet Mushroom Recipe (click here). These meaty mushrooms are great as the main course or served as a side with chicken or steak. They are sweet and spicy with the ginger and garlic additions.

Bread Share CSA - "Bakers Choice"

Provided by Deer Creek Bakehouse Nevada City

The Bakers Choice Bread Share is a year round, weekly delivery of Deer Creek Bakehouse's Country Sourdough or Whole Wheat Bread, with a rotating cast of inclusions. All loaves are hand made with 100% organic flours, much of which is locally milled.

This week's baker's choice loaf will be Roasted Delicata & Herbs.

Coffee Share CSA

We are thrilled to offer up our own signature coffee; the "Mountain Bounty Blend" as a Weekly or Bi-weekly CSA Subscription.

Remedy coffee is made with a focus on quality, by working directly with growers and producers, and small batch-roasting to bring out the natural flavors of the coffee bean. Their coffee is served at local Nevada City haunts such as Three Forks and Briar Patch.

Recipes, storage tips, inspiration and nutrition information:

Mountain Bounty Farm suggested CSA Box recipes:

Southern Collard Green and Potato Stew (click here) is so hearty with smokey flavors and black eyed peas for added protein. It is plant based and uses no oil, making it rich with out being heavy!

These oh-so-simple Braised Salad Turnips (click here) are a perfect side to your favorite protein, or addition to a grain bowl! Simply slice your turnips, cook in a pan with butter, throw in the greens at the end with a splash of vinegar and salt and you're done!

Do you ever have a hard time using your whole bunch of dill? Try out this One Pan Creamy Lemon and Dill Tortellini (click here) It uses half you bunch! Chop up the other half finely and stir into some softened butter, then rechill and spread on everything, like in this Dill Butter Recipe (click here).

Looking for a quick and tasty weeknight dinner? Try out this Shrimp and Bok Choi Stir Fry (click here). It is ready in just 15 minutes!

"Feed the Fam" Baby/Kid/Pet friendly recipes - Crunchy Cauliflower and Potato Tacos (click here) made in the oven?! Sounds cheesy and easy! Making the tacos in the oven allows you to make lots at once instead of a few at a time on the stovetop - a great hack for feeding a crowd!

"USE IT UP" Weekly Recipe:

Chop up everything you have left from last week in this Vegetable Slaw Recipe (click here). Dressed with a light vinegar and mayonnaise dressing this is a great way to clear out your produce drawers!
