FIELD NOTES
Hurricane Isaias rolled through Western Massachusetts with tropical storm force winds
Tropical Storm Isaias threw a wrench into last week's CSA plans and we want to thank everyone for their support. We never served 100 shares before in a 3 hour period and it was a learning experience for all of us. We know there was a substantial wait in the queue and we appreciate everyone being so patient and kind. We are back on schedule this week and looking forward to some quality time with our favorite people!
Our tomatoes are finally beginning to ripen and we're happy to offer specialties and slicers in the week's share. Our very own leeks will be featured too, they are another first for us, and you will be the first to give them a taste :)
See you all soon!

HOW TO CLEAN LEEKS FOR BEGINNERS
Food Network | YouTube
Leeks are a delicious vegetable, but they're grown in sandy soil, so they need a good cleaning before you use them in recipes.
