My Farm Share Week 9
Posted by Tracy under Food, My Farm Share, Philosophy, Photos
Firstly, please accept my apologies for posting so late. I like to post by 11:00AM but I was very busy with work today and then once I got home, my blog server/host was down. Ugh.
Onto more pleasant thoughts…
Today, we received a really beautiful variety of vegetables: 4 bell peppers (2 green, 1 purple and 1light yellow-green); 4 tomatoes (2 yellow, 2 red); 5 tomatillos; 1 bag of mixed baby greens; 4 purple/white eggplants; 1 bunch of red beets; 1 bunch of red radishes; 3 summer squash (2 green, 1 yellow).
In hindsight, I wish I had waited to receive this box so that I could have made a larger bowl of salsa verde. I always say it’s just as easy to make a large batch as it is to make a small batch. Oh well, it’s also fun to find new and interesting ways to use the same vegetables.
Here are the photos:

I know that you used to live/work in DC (by the way, 2941 is my favorite restaurant in the world.) and I saw your article on your Farm Share. I have been doing some research and I have been looking into buying into a share around here (I live in Falls Church and I am shortly moving to Ashburn). Do you have any farm shares in the Northern VA area that you would recommend?
Thanks!

It all looks beautiful, Tracy. That purple pepper is especially inviting … happy cooking!

Maybe I’m just a sucker for boxes full of beautiful produce, or maybe it’s the great photos, but these really do make me want to rush out shopping right now!
