Though the heat has been intense at times,the weather has been cooperating and everything is growing nicely. This will be the last week you get kale for awhile. We won’t be growing kale or spinach until the fall, those crops just don’t do well in the heat. Strawberries and tomatoes are just around the corner. We included green garlic in the shares this week. Green Garlic can be used as a substitute for garlic in any recipe. Use the whole plant, greens and all. We are also very happy to include peas for the first time this year. We hope you find a use for our produce in your Memorial day gatherings. Have a great week and thank you for supporting our farm!
