WELCOME TO RUTIZ FARMS
HAPPENINGS AT THE FARM
OUR STAND WILL BE CLOSED THIS COMING SATURDAY, JULY 4....so our employees and myself can enjoy the day off.
This Friday, be sure to stock up on your favorite fruits for the holiday weekend...plenty of ripe and ready to eat peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, blueberries and ripe avocados. Our strawberries are finished for the season...too bad!
Teixeira Family cattle ranch will have some delicious cuts of their locally raised beef available for purchase at our stand this Friday...great for a weekend bar-b-q.
No bread from Little Red Hen this Friday...Kirsten is taking the week off...she will be back next Tuesday.
What's in the box this week:
How about a Bruschetta with our tomato and basil. Chopped fresh tomatoes with garlic, basil, olive oil, and vinegar, served on toasted slices of French or Italian bread.
A simple and delicious way to prepare the zucchini squash..cut the squash lengthwise into stripes about 1/4 inch thick, cover with a little olive oil and seasonings, put them on a hot bar-b-q grill or under a broiler for 5 to 10 minutes on each side until brown and crispy.
This week's avocados are the Hass varietiy grown by David Righetti of San Luis Obispo. Let them sit out on your kitchen counter ( or put them in a paper sack with a ripe banana or apple to quicken the ripening process ) until they are soft, but not overly squishy!
