Raise your hand if you spent an hour soaking greens and herbs last night, all the while worrying a little about eating salad every day, three meals a day all week. Fret no more!

Vegetable share:
radishes
lettuce
Swiss chard
cilantro
curly cress
escarole

Flour share is this week!

Don’t forget, the next meat & dairy order deadline is this Thursday, July 2nd at midnight, and delivery is next week on July 7th.

Thanks to all who are volunteering this week!

Remember to bring your bags, plastic and otherwise.

Some of you may be wondering what to do with your lavender share. Of course, enjoying the flowers in your home for as long as they may survive in a vase is an option but you can also dry the flowers and use them in recipes. Lavender is traditionally used in the mix of herbs called Herbs de Provence. If you have dried any of your oregano from last week, that is also present in the recipe below. Additionally, if you have the herb share, here is a use for the sage you received last week. The rest should be available at your local grocery store or most green markets.

Our first year with the CSA involved balancing a household with two working adults one of which was completing the second year of an advanced degree at night, a toddler becoming more and more mobile each day and the usual tiny amount of food storage space in your typical NYC kitchen. We had to find a routine or the 2 pds. of zucchini, precious romaine lettuce leaves and/or 10 pounds of fruit was all gonna rot!
