CSA Weekly Report: Lancaster Farm Fresh

Just a few more weeks left in the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA program!  This week we’re treated to sweet potatoes and daikon radishes, two things we’ve not seen in the shares this year.  Alas, this week also heralds the return of lettuce.  While it’s lovely lettuce, indeed, my heart broke just a little to see it.

This is what’s in this week’s share:

    1 bunch of daikon radishes from Elm Tree Organics
    1 5lb bag of red norland potatoes from Green Valley Organics
    1 head of red leaf lettuce from Scarecrow Hill Organics
    8 red slicing tomatoes from Countryside Organics or Scarecrow Hill Organics
    1 bag of sweet stuffing peppers from Meadow Valley Organics
    1 bunch of rainbow swiss chard from Meadow Valley Organics
    1 3lb bag of beauregard sweet potatoes from Busy Bee Acres

The stuffing peppers are really tiny little things.  They might be good baked and stuffed with tuna.  My husband has already laid claim to the sweet potatoes - he demands sweet potato fries!

It’s the radishes that I’ve got plans for, though.  It will become kimchi, something I’ve been craving recently.  Coincidentally, I found an interesting-looking recipe that calls for the addition of mustard greens.  I do believe I can substitute swiss chard for that. Fun!
