Welcome to Week #5 of the Smolak Farms CSA Season!
Welcome to a new CSA week. This week's CSA share will include the following:

Peaches
Romaine Lettuce
Collard Greens
Summer Squash
Zucchini
Garlic
Corn

Please remember that you can always access all of our emails and some fun recipe inspiration online.



CSA Tip of the Week: The best way to process and store your fresh lettuce is to soak it as soon as you can to remove any dirt. It should then be dried as best as possible. We suggest using some type of salad spinner which works great for this. Then, you should wrap the individual leaves of lettuce between 2 sheets of paper towels, roll them up and then store them in a plastic bag in the crisper. There is a lot of up-front work with this method, but it most definitely extends the life of the fresh lettuce!

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.

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.
