Kearsarge Mountain CSA: Week 9

Wahoo! Another fabulous week of vegetables. And, I think it should be noted, that I have been doing  minimal grocery shopping thanks to my CSA and that has been making me very happy. Just one of the many perks of this system!

Here is what we got this week.

• Celery
• Hot peppers
• Tomatoes
• Salad mix
• Carrots
• Cucumbers 
• Broccoli
• Onions

This particular batch of goodies required virtually no special care when storing in the kitchen. Here is what I did.

• Tomatoes and onions hang out in a bowl on the counter. They do not go in the fridge until they have been cut into. 

• Everything else goes into the vegetable drawer in the fridge!  I just cut the tops off of the carrots (which I fed to my rabbit) so they will be good to go whenever. Way too easy.

I also gathered a few other farmer's market items from Greenhill Collective Farm and Michelle's Garden:

• Green peppers
• Summer squash 
• Garlic
• Blueberries

If you are new to local shopping and want to give it a try, I would say that right now is definitely the time. You can find such a fantastic variety at farmer's markets these days, including: tomatoes, onions, potatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, celery, garlic, squash, broccoli, cucumbers, beans, beets, carrots, chard, head lettuce, herbs and so much more! New Hampshire farms are flourishing, check out what they can offer you!
