What's in this week's Box
Grown on our farm using organic farming methods:
carrots, Romano green beans, zucchini, beets, potatoes and corn.
The tomatoes are grown by Bautista Farms in Arroyo Grande, pesticide free.
The Hass avocados are grown by David Righetti of San Luis Obispo.
The Pluots are grown by Burkart Organic Farms in Dinuba.
Hamburgers with sliced beets
We had the Chioggia ( candy cane ---because on the inside there are white and pink stripes )
beets for dinner tonight...peel off the outer skin, slice into 1/4 inch thick slices, fry or saute in a heavy fry pan with some oil until browned and soft, add to your hamburger....that's the way the New Zealanders and Aussies eat their hamburgers!
Use the
Sierra Gold potatoes for baked potatoes, mashed, fried or roasted...creamy yellow insides with a russet skin on the outside.
Italian
Romano green beans...a flat shaped green bean, with more flavor than our regular Blue Lake green beans. The Romanos required a bit more cooking time to get tender...but their extra flavor is well worth it...our restaurants request these all the time.
Grill up the
zucchini on your bar-b-que...slice the zucchini lengthwise into strips, coast with olive oil and seasonings, grill over high heat until brown.
