Summer Bounty

Late July is when we really start to feel the abundance of the farm share.

We marvel at the beautiful heirloom tomatoes, and our jaws drop at the quantity of zucchini and yellow squash they provide. Wildlfowers are plentiful, and sunflowers are not so carefully rationed as they are at other times of year. We can never seem to eat the beets with enough consistency to get through them, and are constantly enlisting help.

Last time we were picking veggies in the fields, I overhead the other members talking about zucchini bread, and I figured I'd give it a try this week.
