Week 8 Harvest Notes

Basil We have such beautiful basil growing out there in the field that we thought it would be fun for members to make pesto. Just blend up the leaves with some olive oil, garlic and nuts or cheese if you eat those and voila!

Red Cabbage These small cabbages will store for weeks, so there is no rush to start eating them if you are overwhelmed by this week’s the summer bounty. I find cabbage a great salad base in the summer when lettuces are too bitter for harvest.

Marketmore Cucumbers The gift that keeps on giving! We snack on cukes all day in the fields this time of year. We predict several more weeks of this bounty.

Sweet Onions These onions are like a walla walla, they are sweeter than traditional storage onions.   

Zucchini We’ve heard a good deal of zucchini enthusiasm in feedback from members, which we’re glad of since the plants keep offering up fruits each week!

Green Peppers We’ll have red and orange peppers before we know it, but in the meantime we can enjoy these gorgeous green peppers.

Patty Pan Squash These flying saucers cook just like zucchini, they are just a bit more fun to look at!

Italian Eggplant We’re having an excellent season for eggplant with all of this heat!

Fresh Garlic The garlic is beginning to dry down a bit but I would continue to store yours in the fridge for another couple of weeks.

Tomatoes The numbers of ripe tomatoes are buiding! 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.
