HARVEST

Note: The contents of the veggie boxes can change, depending on the day of the week. We update the below veg list almost daily to reflect the next day’s deliveries. Keep this in mind if you’re looking at the list more than one day before your delivery.

Lettuce
Qty: 2 heads

Parsley
Qty: 1 bunch

Red Tomatoes
Some of you will be receiving very ripe tomatoes, and some will receive slightly under-ripe ones. If your tomatoes are a deep red (ripe) and you won’t be eating them tonight, you can put them in the fridge so they won’t start rotting. We recommend bringing them back to room temperature before eating them. If your tomatoes are under-ripe, you should leave them out on the counter until the turn a deep red (but not soft!).

How to ripen fruit…
Apples and Peaches should be removed from the plastic bag and allowed to ripen in a paper bag, or out in the open air. If you leave them in the plastic, they will rot before they ripen.
