Sol Food Farm

Your box includes: cucumbers or squash, cipollini onions, carrots kissed by unicorns, beets, lettuce, parsley, garlic (take one) collards, dino kale and broccoli.

This week brought a new volunteer from San Francisco (via Germany!) into town. Thomas arrived to Harrison Grade Road yesterday on his bicycle having climbed all the way up Green Valley Road and is looking forward to more adventures by bike around Sonoma County. He loves to get his hands dirty and learn a lot about CSA’s. Wow! The strawberries took a hit from the heat. Brassicas got a little brown and buggy from the hot sun too. But don’t mind that: they’re still delish. And we’re probably going to be sowing seeds for Fall brassicas this week, which means we are already thinking beyond the summer. Crazy. Cucumbers are just now starting to show up. And it’s a two-week countdown until tomatoes, people. Lastly, literally, this is the last of the broccoli for a while. Enjoy your Sol Food Farm fresh produce! And thanks so much for your continued support.

Thomas’ Green Smoothie for Two

Ingredients:

5 leaves of washed, chopped dino kale
3 leaves of collard greens, your choice, washed and chopped
3 carrots
2 beets, washed or skinned, chopped
1 cup apple juice
1 clove garlic (for the adventurous)

Gently introduce all the veggies to your blender, then add the apple juice. Feel free to add a little water if you’d like a thinner, more thirst-quenching smoothie. Blend until all the ingredients are incorporated. Pour into two glasses and garnish with one pinch parsley. Drink immediately and feel great!
