This tasty number was the recipe of the week for our CSA members. The farm is overflowing with summer squash, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers and we’re loving how bountiful the harvest has been.

Our CSA delivery is on Tuesdays so every Monday evening I cook Taylor and myself a dinner that includes the bulk of the vegetables that will be in our members share that week. It’s been really fun to only cook with the items that we’ll include in their boxes (even though we have access to a ton of other herbs/veggies in the field). We really want to experience the same challenge (we also hope joy!) that they do cooking with our produce.

I know I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll mention it again- our CSA members are the heart and soul of our farm. If it weren’t for these amazing folks we could not make a living doing what we love. Joining a CSA can be a total gamble- you don’t have control of what will be in your box every week. Since folks end up with quite a few items that wouldn’t normally be on their grocery store shopping list, I try my best to cook/highlight new vegetables so people aren’t at a total loss figuring out how to prepare them. We want our CSA folks (all 45 families!) to find pleasure sitting around their dinner tables eating a meal prepared with our produce.

This simple summer salad is delightful and we hope our CSA members and all of you lovely folks who read the blog enjoy this meal as much as we do. Gather around the table, pour a glass of wine and dive in! Cheers from Tumbleweed
