Share Notes
- Onions, Walla Walla Sweets: As the name suggests, these onions are much sweeter than your typical white or yellow storage onion. They can be used in any recipe calling for onion, but try using them in recipes that will let their flavor shine through. Because they fresh onions (as opposed to a storage onions) they should be kept in the refrigerator.
- Summer Squash or Cucumbers: This week we continue with the rotation, which means some shares will receive summer squash and other cucumbers. We keep careful records of what crops and how much is delivered each week, and make sure to that each member receives the same total of each crop that goes on rotation through out the season.
- Turnips, Hakurei: Your turnips this week are tops off, and these will be the least distribution of these until they return again in the fall. If you haven’t tried pickling these white beauties yet try it out with this last round.
