Sometimes the best part of the day is a good joke! Not sure if this one is "good" or not, but here it is...What do you get when you cross a corn cob and a cow? Any guesses? Ready for the answer?? Drum roll, please! Corned Beef! Well, if that didn't make you smile, I am sure that enjoying some freshly harvested corn on the cob will! This is from our good friends, the McMaster family, out in Columbiana. We think they grow the best corn around! If you want more of this summertime favorite, taking a drive to their farm is worth it!

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Grilled Corn on the Cob is definitely something to get fired up about. It's amazing how a little smoke and a little char enhances the sweetness and brings out the true flavor of corn. A traditional grilled corn recipe is served slathered with butter and sprinkled with salt.

Homemade Basil Pesto

One of the things our crew enjoys doing every year is making this fresh pesto for CSA day. It is amazing how much flavor can be added to a variety of recipes by using this simple basil infusion. Pesto isn't just for pasta anymore!

8 Ways To Make the Most of Your Pesto, Beyond Pasta

Purchased pesto is one of the best convenience foods on the market, and pesto from scratch is simple to prepare and even more delicious. Traditional pesto is made of fresh basil leaves, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and pine nuts, but there are plenty of other recipes including alternative herbs and nuts such as chives and walnuts.
