Avalon Acres Box 6/19

Posted by Wes / no comments » / Uncategorized

This week brought an abundant share of cucumbers, zephyr squash, patty pan squash, cabbage, carrots, kohlrabis, and cauliflower. I’m really excited to see lots of berries start to appear from local sources. When I got to the truck for pickup this week, I couldn’t resist getting some fresh black raspberries that were available. They were slightly sweet, tart, and very fragile; I was advised to eat or freeze them within a day. After sharing them with a few friends, they quickly went to my freezer which will probably be pulled out soon for making muffins or a quick ice cream topping.

Also, hidden in the bottom of the box were some garlic scapes, which is an alternative way to introduce a lighter garlic flavor into dishes. The Avalon Acres blog has offered many suggestions for how to use these.
