romaine lettuce 1 ct

leek - 1 ct

collards - 1 bu

heirloom tomatoes 3/4 lb smalls, 1 lbs fulls

eggplant 1 smaller (small) or 1 larger (fulls) yellow Italian peppers 3 (small) -4 (full) ct

These are fresh carrots that are oddly shaped, broken or blemished that we are adding to the shares for free. They are crunchy and tasty despite their unusual looks. We'll be back to normal #1 carrots for lunches and all the yumminess next week.

Salad Lover's Add-On - salad mix is back!

Egg Add-On if you ordered eggs pick them up in the egg add-on box at your pick up site this week!

HOW TO ORDER ADD-ONs: The CSA store is open for add-ons. You can use a debit card or your Farmigo credits https://csa.farmigo.com/store/camasswalefarmcsa. Please order 3 days before the desired delivery day.

Collard Wraps

However you choose to make these, we recommend a very quick parboil of the leaves-- boil water in a large pot. Dunk one leaf at a time in the simmering water for 10-20 seconds. Stack par boiled leaves on a plate or paper towel until ready to wrap. Leaves will turn bright green and soften just enough to make folding the wrap easier.

Link to coconut Curry Chicken Salad for alternate filling here (uses celery and green onions if you still have those from previous weeks, or use carrots for crunch instead)

Potato Leek Soup

Non-dairy version recipe from Simply here . Dairy version from Moosewood Cafe here.

Eggplant and Broccoli Stir Fry

vegetable stir fry and rice:

sesame oil

garlic

eggplant and broccoli cut into bite size pieces (carrots, collards, yellow peppers are also good for this dish)

cooked rice sauce (a DIY general tso's):

1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 knob of ginger, grated
½ cup vegetable broth
½ cup gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
⅓ cup rice vinegar
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons plain tomato paste or 1 tomato
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1-2 tablespoons of cold water (for a thinner sauce, use 1 tablespoon corn starch)

Saute oil and garlic, add eggplant. Next add broccoli. If adding bok choy or collards, add those now. Once cooked add the sauce and corn starch and mix. Enjoy with rice and top with sesame seeds.

ABOUT PICKING UP YOUR CSA

Bring your own bag. Pick up at your pick up location and day (Wednesday or Friday) from 12-6pm. If you ordered an add-on, it will be packed in a separate labeled tote.

HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA

#1: Sign-in! the golden rule

Find & Sign-off your name on the sign-in sheet each week and please ONLY take the items listed next to your name.

This vital step helps ensure everyone goes home happy, including our site hosts and farmers, week after week.

#2: Locate your shares

Boxes are labeled as Small or Full. Summer Salad Lover Add-on shares are in a large tote labeled "Salad Add-ons"

#3: Unpack your tote & stack the empties

Please bring your own reusable shopping bag to transport your items - we’ll pick the totes up next week for reuse! We can use them for multiple seasons, reducing waste one box at a time.

USING THE WEEKLY SWAP BOX?

Swap boxes are green with flowers painted on them. Swap boxes are labeled and will stand out! If your pick up site has a swap box, please feel free to swap an item you may not want in your box with an item in the provided and specifically-labeled SWAP BOX. Please limit the swaps to one item for one item per week.

UNABLE TO FIND AN ITEM?

(Please do not supplement it with something else!) Contact the farm directly before taking something else. The sooner you reach out the sooner your item may be located.

SOMEONE ELSE PICKING UP FOR YOU?

(Please share all the details of how to pick up with them BEFORE they attempt to pick up -- BYO bag, take from the right size box, check off the right name). Friends and family picking up for others is the number one cause of pickup mistakes, and we thank you in advance for your consideration.

CSA FAQS PAGE

Since our hands are often tied up with roots, soil or kids we keep this information on our CSA FAQS web page.

REDEEMING YOUR VACATION CREDIT

Go to our Online Store to see availability for add-ons this week and to double check the value of your credit. You'll need to login to see your credit amount.
