2013 CSA – Week 6

It seemed like Italian week at Sport Hill Farm! Check out the take:

  • 1 bunch of carrots
  • 4 cucumbers – 2 yellow, 2 green
  • 3 heads of broccoli
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 bag of lettuce
  • 1 bag of stir fry mix: Tatsoi, Bok Choy, Kamasuna
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • 1 bunch of broccoli rabe
  • 1 bunch of garlic
  • 1 fennel bulb

Broccoli, zucchini, broccoli rabe, garlic, and fennel! Okay, so garlic originated in Asia, but people generally think of garlic as Italian! And yes, squashes all originated in the Americas, but zucchini was developed in Italy from squash brought there from here and then they brought the zucchini back here.
