The Flower Share has started! Above is a picture of this weeks flowers, already brightening Sarah’s kitchen island.
Jess picked up a few stems of gladiolas (Farmer Jamie’s specialty), which seem to be made for her dining room!
Today was Sarah’s month for pickup of the meat subscription. She will be sure to let you know how these little white packages are turned into delicious meals!
Here’s a squash bomb from last summer’s CSA. Be creative with your fillings!
Jess is already cooking up a batch of collard green noodles, run through the angel hair attachment of her pasta maker. Recipes to follow soon!
The fennel fronds are great as an aromatic for fresh seafood, add flavor to a salad, and also make a wonderful tea!
If anyone is around on Thursday, there’s an open house at the Westford Community Garden on Graniteville Road on Thursday from 4-6pm. Come tour the 150 garden plots and enjoy some treats and performances!
Have a great week everyone!
