This is the Last Week of Abby's Greens Salad Shares...
Sad but true, the Abby's Greens Salad Share season comes to an end this week for our CSA members. Outdoor salad production becomes more and more challenging as we dive headlong into Fall, due to slower and slower growth in the greens field. Abby will continue to supply a handful of outlets as best she can in the coming weeks, including our Wednesday Farmstand, the Port Orford Co-op, the Langlois Market, and McKay's Market in Bandon. If you'd like to source them through our farmstand, we recommend pre-ordering through our online store (our online "store" is open for ordering from Thursday morning through Sunday evening). Huge thanks to Abby for her unparalleled dedication to the production of beautiful salad greens. There's no other salad like it on Earth!
Bulk Sweet Peppers and Storage Onions Available by Special Order!
If you just can't get your fill of sweet, juicy peppers (or want to preserve some for winter - freeze, roast, can), or you want to stock your pantry with some long-keeping storage onions (red or yellow), our CSA members are invited to place a special order for delivery to your CSA pickup site. We should have an abundance of peppers for the next few weeks, and plenty of onions for the next month or two. Choose the delivery date that best suits your schedule and we'll do our best to get them to you on that day. If we can't fill your order on that date, we'll reach out to arrange for an alternate day.
Enjoy the rainbow of food this week! And if you need a recipe to inspire you, this Crispy Poblano Taco recipe caught my eye for using your cilantro and poblano and jalapeño peppers. You could easily jazz it up by adding some sauteed sweet peppers to the filling, or replace the chicken altogether with roasted romanesco and/or mixed veg.
Buen Provecho!
