Summer is winding down and there are lots of fresh greens in the coming months but this week we get to continue to enjoy the bounty of summer. The tomatoes in the share this week are a mix of orangero, and lorenzo. Two of our favorites. We made a super simple tomatoe basil soup with them this week. All of these great summer ingredients make for some delicious recipes. Thank you for supporting us and our small farm.
