Farm Happenings, week 7 2010 Summer Share!

 

Time can be one of two very different options. It can both chase you down and overwhelm you, or it can be a trusted assistant. Learning to manage and respond to the constraints and possibilities of time is a necessary skill usually learned by experience. As a farm community, all of us need to respond positively to the stress of daily situations and circumstances that could overwhelm our sense of time management. I am particularly grateful for the varied skills and abilities that make up the work-force of our valued employees as well as our site hosts. So, when you are next confronted with a stressful time management issue, consider it an opportunity to reassess your particular response regarding your trusted assistant, time.

Our fall share join CSA form will be on the website by the beginning of next week. Please express your desire to be a part of the fall season as soon as you are able.  We need a 4-6 week head start to plant appropriate amounts of fall vegetables.

Let year for our first fall share we had 350 members and we’d love to bump that number up to 400! Please consider passing this message along to your circle of influence. It’s a great time of the year for people to jump on-board for a shorter 9-10 week season that will encourage their continued participation.  Fall is a great season for fruit, winter veggies and still a good harvest of summer/early fall veggies until the first hard frost. Come one, come all and join us for fall!

 

There have been 5 plus people expressing interest in meat shares.  Please contact us again as we are beginning to process 2 more animals.  Our apologies for not getting back to sooner.

 

Have a great week! We hope you love your vegetables as much as we love growing them! Many Blessings to you all.

Hungarian Yellow Wax Pepper

A variety of yellow Chile peppers typically harvested when they are 4 to 6 inches in length. Often mistaken for the banana Chile, the Hungarian Wax pepper has a hotter flavor and is larger in size. Also known as a Yellow Wax pepper or Chile, this pepper may have a hot flavor, but it generally ranges from mildly hot to hot. Served fresh in salads and salsas, or as a pickled appetizer, the Hungarian variety of pepper is also a good pepper to stuff with various ingredients. A similar stuffed food dish known as Chiles Rellenos, uses a milder pepper such as an Anaheim but if a more robust flavor is desired, the Hungarian works well. Hungarian Wax peppers keep well in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper, for a week or so.
