Choices: Three bins have Broccoli and four have Broccoli & Cauliflower. (But all have an even amount of cruciferous veggies.) Some bins have a bag Peas and some have a bag of Green Beans. Today you will need to look at the bins and select the one that says, "Take me home!"
Number of crops ready and amount of harvest of a given crop will vary throughout the season. We will provide at least six items each week. If we have any crop issues, we will supplement with produce from other local farms. Some weeks will include value added items, such as Jungle Jam, Zucchini Bread, Fresh Basil Pesto, or even fruit we pick at "You-Pick" locations.

Chamomile Tip From CSA Subscribers + More Ideas for Tasty Treats
This round of chamomile doesn't have many flowers, and is not very pretty, but the leaves are extremely useful! Fancy trying the tea? Pour a mug of boiling water. Stir in a tablespoon of torn leaves and green stems. Cover the mug with a cloth or a saucer (to keep the heat in) and let the tea steep for ten minutes. Strain it into a fresh mug, or chill, and serve over ice. You can even add a dash of apple juice to sweeten it, or pop in some fruit. The flavor is brighter than chamomile flower tea. It’s mild and herby. In addition, chamomile leaves can be used as an add-in to salads. Try mixing them into chopped butter lettuce dressed with olive oil, salt, and lemon. Combine the leaves with mint and use to make herb bread, or chop them finely and add to yogurt with a touch of grated garlic as a dip for veggies.
