This Week's News From The Farms

Welcome to the 2009 Spring CSA Program!

Despite the hardest growing season in four years, we have some very nice items to start the Spring Program with. When the field crops recover from the Arctic blast we have recently received, your shares gain momentum in size and variety. And, with Mother Nature's cooperation, asparagus is just around the corner, as well as spinach, radishes and cabbage, to name a few. Oh yes, and more salad mixes, Arugula, free-range eggs.

And, please note, we have added an extra dozen eggs to your share this week as an extra valued item due to the variety available from our Fine Family of Farms. So, please enjoy your extra eggs.

In Your Produce Basket This Week

Organically Grown Citrus from Florida, Salad Mix, Sweet Potatoes,

Rosemary, Free-Range Eggs

Recipes and Information

1 Sweet Potato

1 Tbs. Olive Oil

1 Tsp. Salt (or to taste)

1 Tbs. Diced Rosemary

Scrub and wash sweet potato well. Slice into French-fry size slices (about ¼ inch by the length of the sweet potato). Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and diced rosemary.

Place on oiled baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until tender. Or if you prefer a crispier version, bake about 10 minutes longer. Fries are done when tender inside.

Bon Appetit!
