CSA Report: Lancaster Farm Fresh

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

More delicious tomatoes this week, and big old watermelon. After my first experience making tomatillo salsa a few weeks ago, I’m eager to use these little green guys in new recipes. And we got the most delicious little yellow sweet peppers. I’m also excited for a new batch! Lancaster Farm Fresh lets me order dairy and organic eggs, but also some produce by bulk. I also ordered 20 pounds of roma tomatoes this week to can tomato sauce.

1 watermelon (mixed varieties)  – certified organic – Misty Meadow Acres
6 ears bi-color sweet corn – certified organic – Maple Arch Organics
1 sweet onion – transitional – Taste of Nature Farm
1 bag Yukon gold potatoes – certified organic – Hillside Organics
1 bag tomatillos – certified organic – Millwood Springs /Organic Willow Acres
1 box cherry tomatoes – certified organic – Farmdale Organics – 1 quart

With all of our tomatoes and peppers (and some leftover mushrooms from last weekends BBQ, I made spicy tomato tempeh from Simply in Season. I overcooked it just a bit (while balancing two soup pots of cooking tomato sauce on the stove) but it was still delicious, and just the right amount of spicy with the addition of a habenero.
