Week 18

The past week didn't exactly go as planned.  Being short on crew and some stumbling blocks slowed us down.  The icing on the cake was that when Kelly went to load the walk-in at our house yesterday it was beeping and reading 23 degrees.  On the positive side we somehow didn't loose much produce. 
It was impossible not to enjoy the beautiful weather last week, even if it wasn't quite as productive as we had hoped it would be.

Lettuce
Carrots
Scarlet Turnips - I bunched these for Monday's boxes this morning.  They are so pretty!  The Scarlet Queen turnips are a new crop for us.  They grew a lot of them at the farm Kelly worked on many years ago, but he tired of telling people at market they weren't beets and so we have never grown them.  I had never eaten one until this spring when I sampled one at the Co-op and thought they were great.  They are crisper than the white turnips you had in your boxes in the spring but still mild and wonderful raw. You can also braise them, roast them or add them to soup/stew.  They really sweeten up when cooked.  They don't need to be peeled.  The greens are edible as well.  I am using some of the culls in my lettuce wraps tonight.
Delicata Squash
Shallots
Cabbage
Herb
Other Item - Large Only - I won't lie...I have no idea what this item might be.  It might end up just being more of an above item.
