Welcome to Week #6 of the Smolak Farms CSA Season!
We could not be more excited for this week's CSA Share which includes one of our biggest selections of fruits and vegetables. This week's CSA share will include the following:

Peaches
Corn
Swiss Chard
Kale
Summer Squash
Zucchini
Garlic
Scallions

If you need some creative inspiration, be sure to check our social media pages and our CSA web page this week for recipe ideas that incorporate these CSA items.



CSA Tip of the Week: Scallions have a sharp flavor that’s similar to normal onions. However, they aren’t as intense—and they certainly won’t make you tear up. The entire green onion is edible. This includes the white portion, which is more intense than the green part. Many people trim and discard the tops and roots while preparing green onions. Store them in the refrigerator once you get home. For best results, place the scallions in a jar with a few inches of water. You’ll want to make sure that the bulbs and roots are completely submerged in water. With this storage method, your scallions should keep for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

If you have any questions at all throughout the season, please feel free to respond to one of our emails, or reach out to csa@smolakfarms.com directly.
Our native peaches are here and ready for you to enjoy as part of this week's CSA Share!
PICK UP REMINDERS
To ensure you receive the freshest produce, please arrive during the CSA pick-up hours of Noon to 6PM. Shares are ready at Noon. Please don’t request your share prior to noon as all produce is picked & packaged fresh each morning and the Agricultural Team. The pick-up table is closed by 6:00 p.m.

If you have an emergency and are running late, email: CSA@smolakfarms.com with your Name, Member number, share size and ETA. If we are provided with adequate notice, your CSA share may be left for you to pick up at the Ice Cream Stand for the hours they are open. This process should be the rare exception, used only in the event of emergencies. Your produce is picked the morning of your pickup day so quality cannot be guaranteed if you pick up 1 day late.
