Farm Share Happy Hour this Friday!
In case you missed the announcement last week, we will be offering a 6-week Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farm Share Program this spring exclusively for Jordan Ranch residents! Each share will be harvested and delivered to your doorstep every Tuesday and will contain 5-7 items. An example share for this week can be seen above. If you’re interested and would like to hear more about this program, we invite you to join us this Friday, April 19th, from 4-6pm on the farm porch for our Spring CSA Farm Share Happy Hour. This event is for current Jordan Ranch residents only. Make sure to secure your spot here so we have plenty of refreshments available!
Yellow Squashes are in season at the Farm Stand! This summer squash variety (below) has a nutty and mildly sweet taste. Just like zucchini, yellow squash can be used in a multitude of recipes, both sweet and savory. We recommend trying them topped with breadcrumbs and herbs in this simple side dish. To satisfy your sweet tooth, try grated yellow squash in this lemon squash bundt cake.
We are excited to report that tomatoes will be making their way into season very soon! Last week we noticed the first blush of color on our cherry varieties in the high tunnel. Once this happens, it’s only a matter of time before we’re able to start harvesting. Since we have tomatoes planted in both the tunnel and the field, our hope is to lengthen our tomato season as long as possible this year. You can expect to see cherry varieties at the Farm Stand in the next week or two and slicing varieties within the next few weeks.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Cucumbers, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Beets, Cutting Celery, Spring Onions, Scallions, Salad Mix, Kale, Collards, Swiss Chard, Cilantro, and Basil.
Coming Soon: Tomatoes
