This week's bag has "Summertime" written all over it: peaches, a pint of blueberries, a bunch of beets, a head of lettuce, a pair of zucchini and cucumbers, a candy onion, and about a pound and a half of tomatoes (2-3 depending on size.) The Omnivore Shares will also get a pound of grass-fed ground beef: use it with our Burger Guide and slice up your tomatoes, onions and lettuce into a perfect summer dinner. 

The Vegetarian Shares will get some broccoli, green bell peppers and a handful of heirloom summer squash from Wholesome Valley Farm: Ishtar zucchini, patty pans, and crooked neck yellow squash. If you get something wild and beautiful looking, post it on Instagram and tag us and the farm!

The Larges will also get a pound of pasta and some bulk Italian sausage, & the Vegetarian Larges will get a bottle of all-local Sunflower Oil (great high-heat sub for vegetable or olive oil), as well as some hot Hungarian peppers. Quick Pasta Night! 

A heads up on the beets (and re: the red cabbage last week): there is a chance that some of the routes might not be getting the beets, but will see a different TBD item instead. As always, we will keep you posted on any substitutions, either ahead of time on Facebook or at the stops.

We mostly work with traditional Amish farmers, and communication is almost entirely face-to-face or through snail mail. So when something doesn't pan out as expected, like last week's red cabbage crop for instance, by the time we get in touch with our farmers it might be too late to get another large order in with someone else. Well, why can't we save some of the produce from Tuesday and Wednesday farm runs for Saturday routes? We want each subscriber to be getting the same quality of produce, if not the exact same item. We don't want to give our members who pick up at the end of the week the same produce that the members got on Wednesday, because it's just not as fresh. Giving you the absolute freshest local produce we can find is our goal, so we apologize in advance if you get a substitution and we really appreciate your understanding.
