BUG Farms CSA Week 9 (A) Newsletter

Hi BUG Farmish Friends,

So this week, the guys are taking care of the farm without me- I am off in Idaho for the King Mountain Hangliding Competition that I am a part of every year as a chase driver for my good friend Lisa who is an amazing cross country hanglider pilot. So, that's why I am writing this email so late, I didn't have internet access until this morning, just as the guys are delivering your shares. From what I hear there is a lot of good stuff coming for all of you this week, including new additions of summer squash- either Black Beauty or Golden Zucchini-yay! We also harvested some very tender and tasty baby Red Russian Kale, one of our attempts as a mid summer baby green : )

In eggish news, I am planning on starting the Egg CSA Share next week, week 10! I will be contacting those of you who showed interest in the egg share about details, but it looks like pricing for full shares (one dozen eggs per week) will be $90, and half shares will be $50( 1 dozen every other week, or if you have a full veggie share you have an option of getting 1/2 dozen every week). If you are interested in eggs but haven't let me know yet just send me an email with the type of share you would like. Anyway, lets move on to share details and recipes!
