Green Market CSA Newsletter #16 || Sweet and Simple 

Heirloom tomatoes by Trevor Mark- brandy wine, big daddy and super sauce varieties. Remember that there are endless varieties of fruits and vegetables with beautiful shades of colours, shapes and tastes. Don't be afraid if it looks different from the one on the grocery shelf. Groceries only show a glimpse into the world of biodiversity that exists in nature. Farmer's markets showcase a rich variety of local produce allowing one to eat with the seasons.

If I am in italic red, it is my first time in the basket, grown by this farmer. If I have an *asterisk * by my name, it means that at some point in my life, my farmer used a chemical pesticide/ fertilizer. Please wash me.

IMPORTANT
This month's payments due in full this weekend please. Cash or cheque made payable to "Green Market Santa Cruz"

In an effort to make it easier with egg subscribers, we will have nametags by baskets again. Our apologies for anyone who had missing items this past month, we will do our best to double check.

Thanks for returning egg cartons. If you any fruit/ veggie scraps you can bring it to the market in a bucket/ plastic bag and we will feed to the chickens and ducks.

Every Sunday 9:30-11:30am, we will have featured chefs preparing fresh produce from our farmers into wonderful meals. They will share their secrets, recipes, health benefits and answer any questions to inspire you with your next meal. You will see your CSA basket ingredients highlighted.
