Enjoy the strawberries - they are slowing down. Good news is that we have sweet cherries! This is the last week of rhubarb. Make some strawberry rhubarb dessert or just plain rhubarb. I love stewed rhubarb over ice cream!
We are now picking zucchini and yellow squash, Mediterranean and eight ball squash. We keep delaying the sugar snap and snow peas because they are just not quite enough yet. Please be patient! We will have enough very soon.
Garlic scapes are a great mild fresh garlic. Enjoy in stir-fry or even raw on salad.
Remember to give us at least a day's notice in order to cancel your share for the week. Please return all the boxes, cartons, etc each week.
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with a certain vegetable.

Our spraying techniques - We do not spray vegetables unless we sense a dire need. We will let you know if we do spray them. We do not spray any berries. We do spray fruit trees i.e. apples, cherries, plums, etc. Please ask us if you have any questions.
