This week the bean harvest is hitting full stride as the blackberry harvest begins to wane. We’re also posting a soup recipe one of our members prepared last week. We welcome your recipe ideas. If you have a favorite or try a new one that uses several of the varieties in a weekly share, please send it to us so we can share with all farm share members.
