CSA Report: Blooming Glen Farm

More fabulous squash in the share—yum! This week, it’s a pretty yellow and green delicata squash.
The delicata slightly softened the blow of no cherry tomatoes this week (sniff, sniff). This year overall, Blooming Glen Farm graced upon its members eight quarts and two pints of the most scrumptious cherry tomatoes in an endless variety. We had green and yellow zebra-striped ones that packed a heavenly acidic punch, vibrant and tart orange ones, slightly grape-tasting and pirate-sounding Black Pearls, super mild and pale yellow ones, and of course, classic sweet cherry red ones. And that’s just to name a few! I’ve been eating cherry tomatoes every day for the last two months and now… they’re gone.
Thankfully, I preserved a few quarts by roasting and then freezing them which, along with all the funky winter squashes we’re getting now, is making the cherry tomato withdrawal a smidgen more bearable. Happy fall!
