- ½ cup olive oil

- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 15 ounce crushed tomatoes
- ½ bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Kosher salt
- 2 eggplants, sliced into ½ inch rounds
- 6 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into ¼” rounds
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium saucepan, add ½ cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and the garlic and stir often, cooking until translucent about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and parsley and stir in. Add a lid, turn the heat to low and simmer while you prepare the vegetables.
- On a bare sheetpan, lay the eggplant slices evenly over the sheet pan and drizzle ¼ cup of the olive oil over the eggplant, brushing them all evenly with the oil. Sprinkle them with kosher salt and bake them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until golden.
- Pull the eggplant off the sheetpan and evenly spread the potato rounds out over the sheetpan and then layer the eggplant over the potatoes. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and then sprinkle the potatoes with the dried oregano, salt and pepper. Now generously spoon the sauce over the eggplant rounds.
- Bake everything for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Moon Tide Farm
Ann & Joel's farm is located in beautiful Scots Bay. They grow veggies and raise cows, sheep, pigs & chickens. Their farm practices are sustainable and eco-conscious. They have just listed their Free- Range Chicken on WFM2go and we highly recommend trying it out!
"The chickens are grown in small batches on pasture and supplemented with a fermented grain ration free of antibiotics and hormones. They are "vaccinated" with vinegar and molasses. They are outside all the time and closed in at night. This is real chicken."
-Ann Huntley

Below you will see two pictures. One is of the next wave of transplants going out this week which include more broccoli, cabbage, napa cabbage, radicchio, endive, head lettuces, bok choy, kohlrabi, thai basil & summer savory. The other photo is of Courtney & Marius adding support for the pepper plants that are heavy with peppers! It should only be a couple weeks before they are full on with the hot peppers starting first followed by the bell

The eggplants in the greenhouse are absolutely loaded this year. I did a heavier pruning practice this year, on top of that fact they are in the greenhouse with lots of heat and irrigation. We are picking off potato beetles pretty much everyday which love these plants. Below are two varieties- one is the traditional large Italian eggplant called "Black Beauty" and the other a small green one called "Louisiana Long Green". We love them both, but the green ones are usually more tender and take less cooking; the purple ones are great at holding their texture when cooked for a longer time.

So we have about 200 tomato plants in the field in two different spots and they are both struggling in different ways. We will certainly have tomatoes but they are taking their time fruiting. One spot by the peppers where we have 80 plants with irrigation and hay are super spindly and lighter green but with lots of green fruit while the other 120 plants are down in our sandy field with no irrigation and they are huge and dark green but with not very much fruit yet. I meant to snap a couple shots of them today for the newsletter but forgot. Needless to say we will have tomatoes they are just taking their sweet time. The varieties we grew this year were brandywine, sungold, chocolate cherry, bumblebee, and sweetie cherry

Above you will see the purslane patch and the heads of bekana. They have such lovely shades of green. If you ever want to get extra of something or swap something out please feel free to respond to this email and we will do so. We keep our CSA small so we can keep it special and allow people to let us know what works for them. I know this is not typical of how CSAs run so thats why I just wanted to let you know.
