Today was our 5th pick up for the Geauga Family Farms CSA. I think we have entered the heart of the growing season. Based on what we received today, it looks like the crops are doing well despite such a wet spring.
Here’s what we received in our family share (not pictured are raspberries):
Let’s take a closer look.
Red raspberries, green leaf lettuce
Red leaf lettuce, large onion
Yellow squash, zucchini
Tomatoes, broccoli
Pickling cucumbers, beets
Green onions, kohlrabi
Potatoes, sugar snap peas
Cucumbers
This looks like a pretty easy week to use everything. I may freeze the onions, but I suspect everything else will be used as we prepare meals this week.
How are you freezing the onion? Any tips???
Hi! I usually just chop the onion and spred it out on a silicon mat or piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. After a couple of hours, I put them in a zip loc bag. Then, I use in any recipe that gets cooked… taco meat, meatloaf, etc. Sometimes I skip the cookie sheet step and just put the chopped ones in a zip loc bag and then break off what I need. Sometimes, I slice them differently if I want some for fajitas or other recipes that need sliced rather than chopped. At any time, I have 2-3 gallon bags of chopped onions, garlic, scapes, herb cubes etc.
