Week 10-What’s in the box?

FRUIT SHARES from Briermere Farm begin this week!
The fruit is NOT INCLUDED in the vegetable share.  You must pay for it separately.  If you paid for the fruit it will say “FRUIT” next to your name on the check-in sheet.  If it does not say “FRUIT” next to your name, DO NOT TAKE A BAG OF FRUIT.  The fruit share will consist of one bag of fruit per PAID FRUIT SHARE MEMBER each week.  Look for the fruit bags in open plastic crates at the site starting this week.  Questions?  Let us know!
 
This week’s harvest
Sweet Corn
From our friend, Rick Petersen. This is Certified Organic and grown with the same growing methods as we use on our own farm.
HOW TO COOK CORN:  Boil a pot of water.  When it comes to a rolling boil, put the shucked ears of corn in the water and turn off the stove.  Put a lid on the pot and let it sit in the water for 3 minutes.  Then take it out and it will be ready to eat!
