Watermelon This heirloom variety is called ‘sugar baby’ and its pretty clear why- so sweet! Once in a while a watermelon shows signs of ripeness without having reached peak sweetness. Let us know if you ever get a bad melon by emailing [email protected]. Its really helpful to have melon ripeness feedback, or really any other feedback on the quality of the produce if an issue arises.
Rainbow Chard Add a few dark leafy leaves to your tomato sauce, salad, scrambled eggs or just about any dish you might put spinach in. Zucchini The zucchini plants are finally beginning to slow down but we do still have some sizing up. Eggplant These are on the wane for the summer but we still have a few rolling in. I find that when people don’t like eggplant it may be because they undercook it. Whether I roast, fry, grill, or sauté eggplant I cook it all the way until super soft. Lettuce Our early fall lettuce crop came ready early due to all the heat. Summer lettuce is not as sweet or tender as spring lettuce is, so you may find you need to add a strongly flavored dressing to compensate for a bit of bitterness on these heads. Still- its nice to have some leafy greens back again! Sweet Onions These onions are like a walla walla, they are sweeter than traditional storage onions. Garlic This garlic is fully dry and should store on your countertop for months at this point. Tomatoes The numbers of ripe tomatoes are building! We grow a wide range of varieties so you’ll see yellow, pink, purple and red tomatoes in the mix coming up. Sungold Cherry Tomatoes This variety is so sweet we love to just snack on them throughout the day in the field. Dill Try drying this down if you aren’t ready to use it this week. Just hang in a well ventilated area until dry. Sweet Colored Peppers We grow bell peppers and long pointy Italian frying peppers- both are super sweet now that they are ripening to fabulous colors!
