Full Vegetable Share
Eggplant – 1 – this is the last picking of eggplant
Summer Spinach – 1 bunch
Summer Squash – 1 pound
Peppers – 3
Hot Peppers – 2 – if you like – these are Serrano Peppers-not quite as hot as the Jalapenos this year
Cherry Tomatoes – 1 basket
Opal Basil – 1 bunch – can be used like green basil but it also makes a beautiful flavored vinegar.  Put a bunch in a bottle with a mild, clear vinegar.  Let steep a couple of days and then remove the leaves.  The vinegar will turn a bright purple color and the vinegar will be flavored with basil.
Summer Savory – 1 bunch
Tomatoes – 3 pounds
Onions – 2

Fruit Share
Peaches
Donut Peaches

Hi,
 
I signed up for a CSA share this year and I just wanted to tell you that I love it. The quality of veggies and fruits is so consistently superior that I quite wish I had known of it earlier. Nevertheless, I am happy to be finally part of it. J
 
I write a food blog at Fork Spoon Knife (www.forkspoonnknife.com) and inspired by the CSA baskets I have created a Farm to Table series of recipes featuring the fresh weekly produce. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did the produce..
 
Thanks
Asha

Dear CSA Member,

This is the time of year when we start to look forward to the change in seasons. The insects have a continual chirp song  in the evening and we know that summer is coming to an end.  

Summer vegetables will continue to fill your share for the next couple of weeks and the tomatoes are brilliant.  We are starting to make our way through the summer crops and pick some of the last harvests of some of them.  Please enjoy the full flavor of the endless sunshine.  I am writing this on Sunday and we are finally getting a good drenching rain.  Things are very parched but with the irrigation that we have and finally some rain, continue to grow.

We are also getting ready for our annual Farm Festival Visit.  It is scheduled for September 11 from 11-3.  I will be sending more information next week.  It is such a great chance to see the farm, meet all of us and also other CSA members.  Hope you can make it.

Enjoy the vegetables-
Deborah for everyone at Stoneledge Farm
