Week 5 of our CSA is upon us, and I can tell the season has turned toward summer. (Forgive me, but we had about 3 solid weeks of rain in June, so I get to claim a very extended spring.) Observe...

What could be in it this week?

Lettuce, new red potatoes and the last of the local bing cherries.

A couple of different summer squashes (which I will likely slice and throw on the grill), and some baby cucumbers.

And two pints of GORGEOUS raspberries and a dozen eggs!

You should have seen the chickens tonight. They have a section of their outdoor run that is bisected by a trickle of the irrigation, and those crazy birds...you'd have thought they were ducks. They'd go over and pat their feet in it, then scratch around and flap their wings when they got wet. They were loving life. Some of their food offerings were nearby the run, and it looks like they're dining on clementine oranges and squash. Those are going to be some crazy-nutritious eggs!

For those in the area who aren't into a CSA or not ready to commit, you can find the Spyglass Gardens folks at the McFadden Farmers Market in Meridian on Tuesday nights, and the Meridian Farmers Market and the Eagle Farmers Market on Saturdays!
