blackberries coming your way

"May be true what I had heard, Earth's a howling wilderness Truculent with fraud and force," Said I, strolling through the pastures, And along the riverside. Caught among the blackberry vines, Feeding on the Ethiops sweet, Pleasant fancies overtook me: I said, "What influence me preferred Elect to dreams thus beautiful?" The vines replied, "And didst thou deem No wisdom to our berries went?"

-"Berrying" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

garlic e-scape-ade.

Coming along after green garlic, which is harvested before the bulb forms, garlic scapes are the long flower bud that grows out of the bulb later in the season. Less spicy than its fully formed future cousin, these scapes are full of fiber, vitamin C and provitamin A. Eaten raw in salads, sauteed, grilled or thrown in soups, this seasonal charmer is included in all farm shares this week. And if you're confused about what to do and want an e-scape hatch, check out a stir fry recipe here on the blog!   

ORDER BY SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT FOR DELIVERY THE WEEK OF JULY 4! ALL DELIVERY DAYS WILL REMAIN THE SAME NEXT WEEK.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
