Whipstone Farm got a monsoon pounding this week, but it limited its damage to the flower crops. Shanti doesn’t feel too badly about it though because it has been such an abundant flower year and there are still lots of flowers to come. At Willowbrook Farm, Hope and Hilary snuck in a cover crop before the rains, giving those soil-replenishing grasses and legumes a great start.
We have another rainbow basket this week! I included a recipe for a summer veggie lasagna, but I’m also thinking about making fresh salsa and caprese salad. My mouth is already watering! So many options with this delicious mix. Another favorite of mine that I make when we get this veggie combo is an orzo salad similar to this one. I have made it for many CSA potlucks and it is a delicious chilled veggie fest.
Have a great week!
