Things got sticky on the farm this week! Our bees spent all summer pollinating the produce and flowers around the farm. Now that autumn’s here, it’s our turn to harvest. Gary the Bee Guy helped us pull frames from our hives and from our neighbors at Kindness Farm 🌿. Then he and his team showed us how to take only what the bees can spare, so they have enough for winter. After a spin in the extractor and a good strain, it’s ready for jars. 🍯🐝

This week’s Sharecast is here! CSA members can expect bok choi, green tomatoes, red storage onions, stocky red roasting peppers, Giorgione radicchio, mizuna mustard greens, and broccoli in their share this Thursday. A few of the following might also make an appearance: eggplant, cilantro, hot peppers, and collard greens.

The season’s turning, and this is the last of the summer crops. We have a couple of tips to help you with this week’s share.

Those green tomatoes won’t ripen into anything worth waiting for, so use them as they are. They’re tart and crisp, closer to a tomatillo than the tomatoes you were getting just a few weeks ago.

If radicchio has ever defeated you, it’s the bitterness. Grill or roast it until the leaves char a little and it turns smoky and almost meaty. Or soak it in ice water for up to 30 minutes, then dress it with something sweet and acidic.

This week’s Sharecast is here! CSA members can expect rainbow chard, heirloom tomatoes, purple cabbage, eggplant, poblano peppers, carrots, and fioretto cauliflower in their share this Thursday. A few of the following might also make an appearance: tomatillos, hot peppers, and sage.

Fioretto doesn’t look like grocery store cauliflower. It’s a sprouting variety developed in Japan, with long light green stems and small white florets. The stems stay sweet and tender all the way out, so it’s closer to broccolini than cauliflower. Mild, a little nutty, and good raw or lightly cooked.
