Howdy folks and welcome to week 11! We hope you all enjoyed last week’s haul and are ready for the first week of August’s bounty. A few changes— we’re going to start having the garlic available in a crate at pick up so that it doesn’t get so wet (and anything that goes into a pint (like cherry tomatoes or peppers) so make sure you look out for the crate of garlic today at pick up and grab it after you fill your bags with what’s in your box. Another thing, last week we harvested the broccoli in extreme heat. It looked great when we were packing boxes but we learned it quickly deteriorated once packed up. We sincerely apologize— the heat is a new challenge over the past few years and we’re learning as we go.
With all that— here is a list of this weeks haul! Happy cooking and eating everyone!
