CSA Weekly Report:  Blooming Glen Farm

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Whew.  After our Rhode Island vacation, it seems we’re finally getting back into the swing of things over here.  Readjusting to schedules and responsibilities is always a little slow moving, especially after spending two weeks in a tent at the beach.  We’ve been… resistant, I’ll say.  I’m happy to report, the vibrant colors at Blooming Glen really softened the CSA pick-up duties this week.

The peppers are out of this world, and I’m quite excited to have received garlic this year.  Pictured is a German White variety, next to some yellow onions.  As one might imagine, we’ve been making some mean stir fries in Souderton lately. 

If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out this great newspaper article, ”New crop of farmers comes with college degrees, no farming past” (The Intelligencer, Aug. 25), which features the Blooming Glen farmers, Tricia and Tom.
