  • CIPOLLINI ONIONS | Qty: 1 bunch
    Beautiful sweet yellow onions. Delicious roasted (try this week’s recipe, on GE’s website, click above) or grilled. Very difficult to find in stores or even specialty food shops! This onion is meant to be used fresh, not stored.
  • CARROTS | Qty: 1 bunch
  • BEETS | Qty: 1 bunch
    OK, you’ve caught us! Beets again this week…. But what do you want us to do? Let this gorgeous crop just sit out in the fields and rot? This is one of the best beet cr0ps we’ve ever had, so we have to share the bounty with you! (No word yet on when we’ll exhaust the fields….)
  • CABBAGE | Qty: 1 piece
  • BASIL | Qty: 1 bunch
  • GARLIC | Qty: 2 heads
    Fresh garlic - straight out of the field, so they’re not cured or cleaned yet! You can eat them fresh as-is, or store in a cool, dry place. You’ll notice that the dry outer skin has not yet formed. To peel, just remove the thin purple-hued skin around the outside of each clove.
  • ZUCCHINI
  • CUCUMBERS

  • RED BEETS | Qty: 1 bunch
    Yes, we realize that we’ve been sending you our delicious beets 3 weeks in a row, but we just can’t resist…they’re too beautiful this year! We’ll rotate them out of the mix starting next week, so enjoy just one more week.
  • DILL | Qty: 1 bunch
    A delicious, delicate herb that I love to use in summer salads.
  • ZUCCHINI | Qty: 5 pieces
  • ROUND or YELLOW ZUCCHINI | Qty: 1
  • PARSLEY | Qty: 1 bunch
  • SWISS CHARD | Qty: 1 bunch
  • RED BATAVIAN LETTUCE | Qty: 1 head
    This is probably one of my favorite lettuce varieties that grows well in the summer heat.
  • ROMAINE LETTUCE | Qty: 1 head
    I’m thinking a nice refreshing Caesar salad for dinner one night this week….
  • CUCUMBERS | Qty. 2
