WELCOME TO 2024 CSA - Week 14
(S) - Small Share, (M) - Medium Share, (L) - Large Share
This key indicates which share sizes get what produce. Different share sizes will often receive different produce. We will vary what goes into the share each week to spread the bounty equitably to all members.
There are times when mother nature puts a kink in our plans, so while we can't guarantee that all of these items will be in your share, you can expect to see most of them and sometimes a few extras.

From the Wise Acre kitchen
Chef Dan of the Wise Acre Kitchen shares his insight and a recipe for a simple and delicous green bean dish.
Green Beans w/ Sesame
Ginger Vinaigrette
All the CSA veggies can be a bit overwhelming each week. Having some quick and simple ways of preparing veggies can really help you get the most out of it.
Blanching is a cooking technique where you quickly drop foods in boiling water, and then immediately “shock” them in ice water to keep them from
overcooking. The process seals in color, flavor, and texture. It’s a great technique to learn. Blanching and then freezing veggies is a simple way to keep your veggies crisp and delicious and save them for a later use.
To Blanch Green Beans
In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring 4 quarts water and 1/4 cup salt to boil. Meanwhile, set out a large bowl of ice water.
To the pot of boiling water, add the green beans and boil until tender-crisp but still bright green, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Once the beans are completely cool, drain well and pat dry.
Vinaigrette - Sesame Ginger - Recipe from the Wise Acre Kitchen
1/4 Cup Ginger - rough chopped
2 ea Garlic, cloves - rough chopped
3 Tbsp Lime Juice
2 Tbsp Rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp Maple syrup
1 Tsp Sambal or Chili Flake
2 Tbsp Tamari
1/2 Cup Neutral cooking oil
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Sesame oil
Toss in a bowl and top with sesame seeds, herbs or scallions.
Enjoy!
