Eggs for Sale

Where can I find recipes for my vegetables?

While Laura imagines that some day she'll be able to give you recipes for the vegetables, and maybe even samples to taste sometimes, the reality is - IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!  Too crazy around here.  Luckily, recipes are readily available on the Internet and can be found fairly quickly and easily.

For recipes, photos and descriptions for many of the vegetables you will receive this summer, you can visit the website of Local Harvest CSA.  The Local Harvest CSA farm is near Solon and is operated by Laura's friend, Susan Jutz.  We share plants, seeds, greenhouse space, tools, workers, and sometimes even produce with Local Harvest.  They have pictures and recipes for most of the vegetables we'll have, plus some we don't.
