Veggies Week #10

Tomatoes! From left to right, grape, heirloom, and cherry. Our homemade pizza sauce from these pretties came out quite nicely!


Jersey sweet corn! We got four tasty ears. They don't even need butter, just grill in the husk and eat right off the cob!


Cabbage, fresh garlic, a whole mess of basil, and red onion.


We made an awesome cabbage stew that lasted the whole week! It was very simple: sliced cabbage, carrots, celery, potato, onions, garlic, dill, and two cans of beef broth. Boil with water for a few hours, and yum! The stew worked great on rice, poured over kielbasa, and with hearty chunks of bread.

Even more potatoes! These are kind of weird looking. Not quite for salad, but definitely for baking, with dill, shallots, and butter!


Speaking of shallots, we got a bunch of those, and also some lovely zucchini.


The summer harvest is great, even with rains ruining several crops and delaying others. The farm cultivates a wide range of plants (I guess to be organic, you have to, otherwise you can't compensate for losses) and I've been pretty happy. I'm eating more variety, consuming less processed foods, and enjoying the better flavors. So far, this has been a great investment!
