Hi there! It's Week 13, and it's hard to believe but there are only 10 weeks left of your Summer Share! We're getting ready for a delicious, pasta-filled bag for you all this week, so keep reading to get the details.

Sweet Corn, Field Corn & GMO's-- a little bit more about the difficulty of growing sweet corn organically and without GMOs. Click here to read Trevor's thoughts.

It's pasta week! The Small Omnivore & Vegetarian Bags are the same this week-- both will feature a pound of Ohio City Pasta's Whole Wheat Linguine-- which means there is no meat in the Small Omnivore Bag. The rest of the bag is full of all your favorite summer fruits and veggies: a watermelon, a pint of cherry tomatoes, two green peppers, an eggplant, some Summer squash or zucchini, an onion and four ears of corn. The Vegan Shares will have some plums instead of the pasta, and if you keep gluten-free please check in with your Greeter to see about your substitution options. The Large Shares will have some extra tomatoes-- Heirlooms and Romas-- as well as peaches and a slab of Baby Back Ribs (Large Vegetarians you'll be seeing some cornmeal for polenta or cornbread, and tomato sauce.)

REMINDERS

Please bring back your bags! We are running really low on bags at the warehouse-- please return your bags each week so we have enough to last through the end of the season. Otherwise, you might see lots of creative containers for your shares... If you have an allergy or restriction, let your Greeter know when you pick up. When you signed up, you dutifully added your allergies and restrictions to your account. Thank you for crossing your t's and dotting your i's! But just to be on the safe side, please tell your Greeter when you pick up if you have an allergy or restriction to something in the bag . It's safer and easier just to remind us when you get your bag if there is something in there you can't have. But "can't have" doesn't mean "don't like"-- we can only offer substitutions if you have an allergy or dietary restriction against having beets or blueberries, not because you simply don't like them. We include dozens of recipes in these newsletters and on our website to show you the delicious ways to prepare your shares. If you really, really won't eat the eggplant? Try trading with a neighbor in line.
