CSA Share, Week 6
July 11, 2008
When you purchase a share through Roxbury Farm, you are also obligated to do one volunteer day at your pick-up site (you can buy out of it if you can’t commit the time, but I think it is a fun part of participating in a CSA). Wednesday was my volunteer day, and with the exception of some rain it went smoothly. It is, as Vicki succinctly described it, just “babysitting organic vegetables” for an afternoon. Since I had to pack up all the leftovers at the end of the day, I can tell you one thing for sure: not many people are taking the braising greens. I must have packed up half a dozen bags brimming with the stuff.
I was excited to receive beets and snap peas this week! The peas are especially delicious, and A. loves to pop the peas out of the pod and eat them (you can eat the pod, though). We also got basil, cilantro, parsley, zucchini, yellow squash, a small green cabbage, more fresh garlic, scallions, lettuce mix, the aforementioned braising greens, and a cucumber. I may make baked egg rolls with the cabbage, and will probably grill the zucchini and squash for our Sunday barbecue.

What do you do with your beets? I have developed a taste for them, but don’t know how to prepare them. Sounds like you got a good haul this week!
I think the easiest, least messy thing to do is to roast them. Yum! — Dara

Aww, we missed the first week of snap peas while we were on vacation? Darn it. I hope they’ll be back this week. We did get some lovely shelling pes up in Maine though, so I guess I wasn’t deprived.
