Greetings friends!   
 
2013:  Celebrating  20 years of growing food
for our community!!


CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE:
We have had a tremendous response from our campaign. Thank you so very very much! With only 10 more days in the campaign and only $8K to go - can we make it!


A NEW Opportunity to Support

Want to help but are not in a financial  
position to do so?  
You can! 
If you are planning on re-joining our Box Delivery for the late Fall, Winter and early Spring please let us know so we can reactivate your account with a vacation hold until you are ready to start. Bolstering our numbers will give us further confidence that this "big" move is supported by lots of potentiality.  
We appreciate that you may still be shopping at local Farmers Markets or still getting produce from your own garden. Nevertheless if your intention is to rejoin let us know early so we can count on you in the months to come!

Next week we hope to give you a progress report as we will be out of escrow, have the keys in our hands and begin the first stages of the remodel.

If you would like to contribute or want more information please contact us.
Thank you for all of the support!

As we get clearer around the various positions we are offering we are becoming aware of the need for flexibility across job descriptions. 
Our current OA team has been stepping it up and some are getting geared to take on new roles  and offer their expertise in all things OA through training  new staff. If you know anyone that is interested please

RECIPE of the week

 
TOMATO, SQUASH & COCONUT MILK BISQUE (VEGAN)
Total cook time: 1 hour Serves 6. Freezes great!

13 oz. can coconut milk, well shaken
10 early girl tomatoes
3 cups worth of butternut squash
1 Tbs agave syrup
1 Tbs chopped garlic
Kosher salt to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (optional)
Cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp onion powder
Olive oil
Handful fresh basil chopped
1 cup water or veg broth
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°
Cut squash in half, remove seeds. Brush with olive oil; sprinkle good amount of salt, pepper and onion powder to taste; drizzle agave syrup and roast partially covered until very tender. (If boiling instead, cut into cubes and boil in salted water). Peel skin while still warm.
Half tomatoes and toss in olive oil, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Roast in a separate dish until bubbling and starting to brown. Once cooked, pour 1 cup of coconut milk into hot roasting pan to deglaze. The pan will sizzle some. Stir everything up and scrape across the bottom of roasting pan until tomatoes and coconut milk are well combined.
Now combine squash and tomatoes with pinch or red pepper flakes and a good amount of chopped basil. Allow to cool some before blending. Thin with warm water or veg broth until silky smooth. Add any additional salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Finish with a drizzle of coconut milk.
