THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING GG!
Welcome to the first pick up day of the 2023 CSA season! We hope you enjoy your items. Please contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns. Your feedback helps us make the best CSA possible.
You'll get a weekly email update on each of your pick up days, listing share items and info as well as recipes and tips for using those items. We would love it if you would email or Facebook us about how you use your produce!
- Do you have any favorite ways to use any share items?
- Did you find a new recipe that you love?
- Have you created a dish you are excited about?
- Let us know so we can share it here!!!
HOW TO PICK UP YOUR SHARE
Between 4-7pm, enter through the sliding glass doors and you'll see all the shares ready on tables in the Great Room. Unless we have bonus items, you will be able to just grab a basket and go! Then, on your next CSA day, please bring your empty basket back in order to swap it for a full one. That way we always have enough baskets here, ready to be filled each week.
If you realize you can't make it during pick up time, please let us know and we will gladly
arrange a Friday pick up. Call 330-549-9408 if you need to contact us about your share.

RECIPES & TIPS
Jungle Jam & Juicy Jam
Garlic & Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant. Scapes first grow straight out of the garlic bulb, then coil. When harvested, they look like long, curly green beans and taste like a unique blend of onion, scallion, and garlic. They can be chopped and added to salads, stir-fry’s, and soups or used as a topper for pizza or an addition to wraps. You can also make pesto and sauce with them. Plus, they’re exceptionally hardy, and last a long time in the fridge or can be frozen for even longer storage.
Dill
Store fresh dill wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, use within a day or two - dill tends to wilt and get mushy quickly. To store it a bit longer, place a bunch of dill in a jar or glass of water, then cover the top with plastic and put the whole thing in the fridge. Dill doesn't keep much flavor if you dry it, but it freezes well and will let you have a taste of summer all year!
Thyme
To store thyme, keep sprigs wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to a week. Gently rinse under cool water before use. Flowering thyme can be dried and kept in an airtight container for up to six months.
Oregano
Oregano is an herb from the mint family. People have used it for thousands of years to add flavor to dishes. The ancient Greeks associated oregano with joy and happiness. The name comes from the Greek words “oros,” meaning mountain, and “ganos,” meaning joy. We can all certainly use mountains of joy, and if that means incorporating some fresh oregano in our meals, that sounds pretty darn delicious!
Dried Chamomile
Chamomile is an aromatic European plant of the daisy family, with white and yellow flowers. It has been used for centuries in beverages, tonics, and traditional medicines.
Chamomile Tea: Pour 8 ounces simmering hot water over 2 tablespoons dried chamomile. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain. Sweeten to taste with honey and enjoy! Be sure not to steep chamomile for too long, since it can get bitter with extended steeping time.
Oatmeal Stir-In: Brown some crushed chamomile in hot butter, then stir them into oatmeal or other hot cereal.
Fruit Crisp Topping: Add a small amount of chamomile to the crunchy topping next time you make apple, peach, or berry crisp.
