Week 5 is pretty exciting – Chioggia Beets, Garlic and Greenhouse Tomatoes, along with more Frying Peppers and Jalapeños from U-Pick. And the newsletter below has a lot of insight on how David and Kayta plan out the CSA across the seasons. In short, it’s a ton of work – rewarding, I’m sure – and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.

Thoughts
We’ve been jonesing for beets. We’ll generally steam them, but I like roasting them on occasion too. If they are really abundant, I’ll get enough to make some veggie burgers in bulk, along with garbanzos and/or black beans.
Nice, too, to have tomatoes coming into season. I’ve been making more Mexican food, but it’s not the same without fresh, homemade pico de gallo and salsa.
