WELCOME TO 2024 CSA - Week 7
(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.
Add-on’s this week: Bread - Good wich

Check out Chef Dan’s recipe for using our farm fresh celery below.
“Old School” Celery
Chef Dan of the Wise Acre Kitchen shares his insight and a recipe for farm fresh celery.
Celery is often used as a crunch addition to chicken salad, stir fry's, pizza, potato salad, or as the base for a soup. Those are all great ways to use celery but I like to explore the flavors of the produce. This is a favorite dish of mine that is simple, unique, and highlights the celery we grow on our farm.
The farm celery, is much more fibrous than what you buy at the grocery store and has a mild anise flavor. It is best cooked vs. raw and the unique flavors shine in a braise, roast, or soup.
This soup is perfect to serve before a beef entrée or on a chilly afternoon, like the weather we are going to have this week!Add a piece of garlic toast as a
great compliment.
