Week #11

The bounty this week includes: cucumbers, salad mix, potatoes, eggplant, yellow onion, summer squash, sweet corn, kale, basil, and a tomato!

Organic corn is so many things - tricky because if you do it all natural, by hand, with non-gmo seed, it takes lots of love, greenhouse space, hot days weeding, and prayers for pollinators and rain to get enough ears of corn to share with the community. We are grateful every season when mother earth provides this bounty. It isn’t perfect, that’s for sure. But it is pure, golden, sweet, and to us, it’s imperfections prove it’s true natural, earth-grown, essence. We hope you enjoy the corn as much as all of us do! There are more ears for sale in the stand if you just need to have more :)

Here’s a dish that is simply summer deliciousness. If you’d like to replicate it, you can find jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro for sale in the stand. It’s simple really. An arepa (which is easy enough to make, check out this recipe for more info) that is filled with a couple spoonfuls of salsa and a whole lot of cheddar cheese! The salsa is simply rough chopped tomato, jalapeño, corn, garlic, and cilantro. We are blessed to get our masa from our friend Lynne from Tortillería Pachanga. She makes the most a-maize-ing tortillas. Check her out, seriously, we love them. Have a beautiful weekend :)
