 Here we see one of the crew collecting berries into a distilled water jug provided by our friends at the Greater Erie Surgery Center. The reuse of these sterile, BPA free jugs in the picking process (prior to being recycled) is one of the many efforts we make at the farm in support of an agricultural model which prioritizes sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. |

Please Note: While it is our intention to provide a list of box contents each week that accurately reflects actual box contents, due to the unpredictable nature of farming, we are sometimes unable to precisely predict the contents of your share. Please understand that when these situations arise, we do our very best to supplement shares with the high quality produce, baked goods, and sundries you've come to enjoy.

 This past week, we heard the first dog-day cicadas here at the farm. According to country lore, their droning song marks a six-week countdown to the first autumn frost. This event, along with early turning leaves--such as those on the Butternut tree pictured above--are bittersweet reminders of the waning summer and coming autumn. Fortunately, the garden's bounty will continue on for weeks to come. |

Tomato, Basil, and Feta Salad
A great way to highlight and enjoy the unmatched tastes of vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh cucumbers without gilding the lily.
Ingredients:
6 tomatoes, diced
1 small cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
salt and freshly ground pepper, taste
Preparation:
In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

One of the most common hurdles to home gardening is a lack of suitable space. For those who live in urban environments, apartment complexes, or in any location where tillable land comes at a premium or is unavailable altogether, micro-gardening may offer a clever solution.
