I'm back for 2010. I'm going to try a lot harder in 2010 (than I did in 2009) to detail the summer farm share from Potomac Vegetable Farms. This is the third year I've taken part in their CSA, and for anyone looking to try a food-share arrangement, I've had nothing but good things to say about the quality of the product. We've been lucky enough to have a number of people from our office sign up, so we've actually arranged for a drop off at our office rather than having to pick up the weekly drop from a pre-arranged location. Pretty sure all the farm shares are sold out for summer 2010, but if you could get in on 2011 or visit them at some of the local DC/VA farmer's markets, I'd highly recommend...
The first drop was on Wednesday June 9th. In the mini share, we got: garlic scapes, broccoli raab, Swiss chard, a head of lettuce, lettuce mix, dill, and basil.
Here's my thoughts: with the chard - a refrigerator pie with cheese and mushrooms; the basil and scapes - scape/basil pesto (there's a recipe I've used from the weekly CSA literature); a pasta with the broccoli raab; with the dill, three things - cheddar dill beer bread, a play on a recipe I saw online for a shrimp w/ creamy dill dressing, and oyster crackers with dill and ranch seasoning. For the mixed lettuces - I'll just use it for salads, garnishes, etc. I'll be back with updates as I get through them...
