Winter CSA Ends this Week

Good Morning!

Our winter CSA will come to an end this week, and we will be turning our thoughts to planting late Spring, early Summer crops. We want to say how much we appreciate our CSA shareholders extending their friendship to us, as well as their support of our farm operation. We thank you. We look forward to growing good things for your families again this Summer!

Our mailbox is bulging with seed catalogs every day now, though we use only a few of the same ones every year. It is fun though to look through all of them and dream of summer harvests!

Since opening registration for the Summer CSA season, registrations are coming in regularly.I have no doubt that we will sell out of the shares we are offering for this summer. I think more families are realizing that it's smart to eat more meals at home these days. In view of the state of the economy, we have decided that our CSA share price per delivery will remain the same as last year, but we have also decided to extended our CSA season for an additional two weeks. We hope this will encourage more families to eat from a local farm and join us at the "Farm to Table CSA", at Doe Run Farm.

This week we will have lots of greens for our CSA families, many which can be used in stir fry which is so easy to do. Getting things prepared before you are ready to stir fry is the secret to this technique. Elisabeth, one of our wonderful Volunteers, passed this recipe along for you to try! She is a creative, wonderful cook! Here it is:

This seems to be pretty good on most veggies that can be stir-fried. Lovely on Bok-Choy. Just stir-fry and toss with this sauce

1 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. fish sauce
1 tsp. chili-garlic sauce (Sriracha)
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. lime juice

Stir together, toss with veggies, serve.

Have a wonderful week!
