Dear Friends,
How we welcome these overcast days as summer looms. The crops of course, if planted at the right time, given sufficient nutrients and water, relish in the heat. Not so much for us laborers. Hats and gloves of course are requisites to getting through hours of hand picking green beans or squash in the hot sun that seem to replace themselves as soon as plucked. But that’s our job..bringing to you the best we can – the bounty of replenished soil and people that receive satisfaction from cultivating the earth without harm and knowing we’re giving people tasty and nutritious foods. Thank you all for supporting our work.
Most of you will be receiving our sweet Genovese basil and here’s a tip for replacing expensive pine nuts..use sunflower seeds! They’re tasty, nutritious, and costing so much less! You can also use the baby celery and young fennel for making pesto and can always freeze it for using another time.
