THIS WEEK’S SHARE INCLUDES: 1 PT. BLUEBERRIES 2# ADIRONDACK BLUE POTATOES GREEN ONIONS CUCUMBER GREEN CELERY 1# EACH GREEN AND YELLOW BEANS ZUCCHINI YELLOW SQUASH

These blueberries were so delicious that I started eating them before I took the picture. I could barely stop myself from eating them all before getting the camera. They were incredible. They make every other blueberry I have ever eaten taste like dirt - and I enjoyed those blueberries at the time I ate them. I am spoiled for life and will eat no blueberries but these forever. I even e-mail the Oles to ask them what species they were. I am going to plant them in my backyard.

Promised Land, Week 5, June 18

I have never really eaten radishes. I mean I have but I always think of them as garnish, little roses, and never thought they tasted like anything. So, I tried to just cut them up and hide them in some falafel. These radishes were SOOO delicious! They were peppery and actually kind of tasted like bacon which - as a vegetarian - was a real treat. My husband loved them as well, and he is not Mr. Vegetable. We were both sad not to get them again.

Promised Land, Week 4, June 11

I don't know if I said this before, but the asparagus from Promised Land was truly the most delicious asparagus I have ever had, and by a large margin. I LOVE asparagus normally but I had no idea what I was missing. It was incredible and I miss it now that it is gone. Even my husband who normally will only eat super thin asparagus was all over this stuff. It really goes to show that local and fresh is 100x more delicious than anything we have ever known.

THIS WEEK’S PRODUCE INCLUDES: ASPARAGUS (APRX. 12 0Z.) 5 GARLIC SCAPES ROMAINE LETTUCE MERLOT HEAD LETTUCE 2 KOHLRABI

We're splitting the share with friends down the street. They picked up and I didn't get a picture. My bad.

Promised Land, Week 3, June 4

THIS WEEK’S VEGGIES! APPROXIMATELY 1lb OF ASPARAGUS BIBB LETTUCE BLUSHED BUTTER OAKS LETTUCE AND SWISS CHARD.

At the time it seemed like a lot of lettuce, but I got into eating a ton of it every day and now I miss it.

Promised Land, Week 2, May 28

So I guess there are three of us doing Promised Land, but when Porter Farms starts, I'll be posting about them, as well. This is for the Thursday pick-up in the city. I think it varies somewhat from the Tuesday pick-up in Amherst. For one, in Amherst you pick up the veggies from a school bus and can talk to someone from the farm about the veggies. Thursdays it's just a pile of boxes in the back office of MAP.

This is a catch-up post because I lost the cable for my camera and couldn't transfer the pictures.

The second week of Promised Land was a head of blushed butter oak lettuce, asparagus, baby bok choy, and radishes.

I made a salad with the lettuce and radishes and I am looking forward to an asparagus and bok choy stir fry with soba noodles (not very local).

Everyone else has already commented, but here are some pics.

THIS WEEK’S SHARE: 2# ASPARAGUS, 1# RHUBARB. 1 BUNCH OF GREEN GARLIC, POPCORN


I basically joined this share for the rhubarb and asparagus. I was not disappointed.

I have always loved rhubarb but this was so delicious and extra sour. I was hooked. I bought some at the Bidwell Farmers Market the next weekend but it was no where near as good.

Everyone those bunched up things were onions but it was garlic (it pays to read the newsletter, which is where I copy and paste the veggie list from). It was good.
