This year, I'm splitting a teaser share with a friend, as neither of our households can get through a box in a week!
This past Wednesday was box #1, and she picked it up for us. It was also the start of the annual you pick pea harvest, so after work, I picked her up and we drove to the Pea Fields.
It was a hot night (90+) and pretty shady, so I don't have any good photos from the picking event. This year, we picked a much smaller amount, as we didn't need as many as we thought (and they aren't work preserving).
We went back too her house and split the box. This week's haul (who took it, and what I plan to do with it):
2 medium-small zucchini (we each took one, plan to cook it with some onion and butter/oil for a side)
A pile of Rhubarb stems (me; I am going to prep it and freeze it for jam later this summer)
A bunch of Kale (me; making kale chips in the oven)
A (likely hot house) tomato (her)
Strawberries (her)
Radishes (me; I peeled them and tried to pickle them. Epic fail, smelled nasty, tasted worse).
A Dozen Eggs from Brand Farms (her)
A $20 voucher for Von Hanson's (me)
A $20 voucher for Great Harvest Bread Company.
I really love the fact that this year they are giving us options to pick our own meat/bread.I didn't like many of the choices last summer (for instance, then jalapeño bratwurst). But I love Von Hanson's beef.... so we will put it to great use.
Thanks for stopping by!
