CSA WEEK 6!!!

As Phil Rizzuto used to say: HOLY COW!!!  Spring is gone.  That was the whackiest spring weather I've ever encountered--weeks of summer heat in March followed by endless nights of frost, plants went to flower and seed long before they should have, slugs have been legion, I still don't have all my tomatoes in the ground...there's always something to complain about, but each morning offers a new shot at redemption.

For the final week of the spring share:

2.25 lbs of March Farm tomatoes!!!!
1 head of Bibb or Buttercrunch lettuce (these are crisper than leaf lettuce, but not as crisp as Romaine, which should be ready in a week or 2) and 1 head of Black Seeded Simpson.

Choose 3 of the following:

Salad mix with magenta spreen
Gator swiss chard
Mizuna (here are some great Mizuna recipes: http://www.misshomemade.com/mizunarecipe.html
Spinach--not much left of the best spinach crop ever (more on the way)
Arugula--(might be it until fall)
Rhubarb

Substitute as you wish, except for milk and cheese.

We have mixed herb goat cheese and Cayuga blue cheese from the wonderful Lively Farm in upstate NY in the farm stand.  Hopefully we'll have more  Appleridge chickens tomorrow.

Thanks so much for supporting us--we couldn't do this without you!
