Welcome to Week #7 of the Smolak Farms CSA Season!

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: Collard greens are a staple vegetable of southern U.S. cuisine and soul food. They are often prepared with other similar green leaf vegetables, such as kale, turnip greens, spinach, and mustard greens in “mixed greens”. Fresh collard leaves can be stored for up to 10 days if refrigerated to just above freezing (1 °C) at high humidity (>95%). In domestic refrigerators, fresh collard can be stored for about three days. Once cooked, it can be frozen and stored for greater lengths of time.

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 blueberries are fresh and ready to be a 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.
