CSA Report - Lancaster Farm Fresh

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

I’m in love with Lancaster Farm Fresh. This week - tomatoes! And more beautiful tomatoes! And lots of other wonderful things, too.

1 Athena cantaloupe – transitional – Green Acres
1 bunch white beets – certified organic – Autumn Blend
1 bag shallot/onion mix – certified organic – Busy Bee Acres – 1 lb
1 bitter melon – certified organic – Autumn Blend Organics
3 green bell peppers – certified organic – Meadow Valley/Bellview Organics
3 jalapeno peppers – certified organic – Millwood Springs
2 boxes cherry tomatoes – organically grown – Farmdale Organics/White Swan Acres
4 Roma tomatoes – certified organic – Millwood Springs Farm
8 red and yellow slicing tomatoes – certified organic – Green Valley Organics
1 bunch dandelion greens – certified organic – Hillside Organics

Even though it was terribly hot, the house got excited about using some of last weeks leftover produce, and some of this week’s beautiful new tomatoes. My roommate made a simple tomato pie with fresh tomatoes, grilled eggplant, onion, and olive oil. I made a squash chowder based on the recipe for zucchini chowder from Simply in Season. I lightened it up a bit and used all kinds of lovely squash, corn, tomatoes, and onions.
