1st Summer CSA pick up Mon May 7th!

Hello fellow CSA-ers. THANKYOU for joining me to support our wonderful farmer Jesus. He and his wonderful wife Tanya have been working for Crooked Sky Farms for years. He plants, harvests and sells the wonderful pesticide free produce from the farm. He is now starting his OWN farm and since they just recently got the land and officially starting farming...I can announce the name finally! You will be getting a few things from his new farm "FRESH AND LOCAL TJ FARMS" and the rest from Crooked Sky farm (yes...he is working at BOTH farms-crazy guy! I don't know if him or his wife ever sleep!) Here is what you can expect in your box tomorrow! I can't wait to use the roasted chilis in some fresh salsa for Mother's Day :)
-lettuce mix
-collard greens
-beets
-carrots
-tomatillos
-mixes summer squash (8 ball, yellow, zuchinni, mexican grey)
-red potatoes
-yellow onions
-green chilis
-garlic
(special-2 artichokes) :):)

Recipe suggestion:
Get your Greens and cool down with a green smoothie popsicle :)! Use your collard greens (a small handful) and add in a banana (fresh or frozen). Then pick 2 other fruits to toss in there as well such as...strawberries and pineapple (which are on sale this week too (97cent pineapples at sprouts, 88cent strawberries at bashas)!.
Use those potatoes, beets, yellow squash, zuchinni, garlic and onions for a yummy side dish. Dice the CSA veggies and mice the garlic. Toss in olive oil or butterand bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (or toss on the grill in some foil!) Add some season salt, garlic salt or pepper for your taste and enjoy with some grass fed steaks or natural chicken breasts! :) I can smell the summer bbq's by the pool already :)
Green chili and tomatillo salsa!!! chop your tomatillos, onions, green chilis,  some cilantro and miced garlic. Add some salt and voila...fresh yummy salsa with no pesticides right at your fingertips :)
Artichoke dip-boil those artichokes for about an hour or so in water with a little garlic salt. Pull them apart and dip them in a garlic salt and melted butter dip!!!
Also...feel free to "follow" this blog, as I will be posting every week about the CSA. If you haven't liked our Market page on facebook...please do :) We appreciate your support and the desire to buy local and fresh. Without people like you...farmers and local businesses wouldn't make it. It is because of community support that we can push this green movement of awesome foods and local businesses! Please let me know if you are looking for any other items this summer such as raw AZ honey, local meats, fresh breads, tamales, sauces, dips or anything else you can think of. I have a wonderful list of vendors with the best products in the world and I can get you in touch with them. I may even be able to get them to drop off your orders at  the CSA pick ups if we can get a few orders going!!! Thank you again for your support and I look forward to helping you all get the products you need and the great produce you can expect each week!
