This week your share may include…

• Carrots: Sweet summer carrots!
• Cucumbers: Tasty green slicers
• Eggplant: Some of these japanese eggplant are almost big enough to make eggplant parmesan! There are also a few green heirloom globe eggplant in the mix.
• Lettuce: These summer crisp lettuce varieties are beautiful & tasty this time of year.
• Poblano Peppers: Their smokey flavor and medium heat are perfect for chile relines or get creative about stuffing them with something less traditional. You can also blister & peel these peppers over a gas grill or under the broiler.
• Anaheim Peppers: These can go roasted or raw into salsa verde with the tomatillos! Or use them like the poblano peppers mentioned above.
• Summer Squash: Nice mix of green & yellow zucchini, crookneck and patty pan.
• Tomatoes: Both slicing & heirloom tomatoes.
• Tomatillos: Time for Salsa Verde. If your favorite recipe doesn’t call for roasted Anaheim peppers try adding some – its delicious!

Coming soon… Hot Peppers!
