Magical Turnips and a Super Moon, Week 5 of Your CSA

Purple Top Turnip.
Hello Moon Bears,

What a succulent harvest this week on the Art Farm
Just look at that turnip. 
Besides the Moon, that root was the most beautiful essence rising out of the clay this week.  
By the way turnips are great mashed with potatoes.


 And beets: gold, white, crimson.

We're also in the midst of expanding our cleaning station for field washing right after harvest. I inherited a 10 foot long  double stainless sink. Thanks mom. So obviously we had to ensconce it within a brand new structure. Just another week long project to wile our time away.
Heather has also been busy making recipes in the kitchen. 
Roasted Beet Salad with Beet Greens and Feta 
Mmm.
   
Finally carrots have arrived. 
Solar yellow are the first to enter the world. 
Next week we'll have red and purple carrots too.
And here is the picture of The One that watches over y/our garden on these sultry summer nights.
The July Super Moon was incredible, a silent presence gliding through our dreams.

On the Menu This Week for a Full Share:
  • Solar Yellow Carrots
  • Gold and Crimson Beets
  • Sprouting Broccoli
  • Rainbow Chard
  • Siberian Kale
  • Dutch Yellow Onion
  • Baby Turnips
  • Gold and French Zucchini
  • A few Cabbages
See You In the Garden.
Rick and Heather
