Sweet Pepper Bonanza!

There are multiple kinds of sweet peppers in the CSA boxes today ~~
  • Jimmy Nardello are the ones that look like chili peppers only they are green. They are called frying peppers.
  • Mild Jalapenos look like hot jalapenos, but they aren't! They have great flavor for eggs.
  • Cubanelle are the light green long peppers.
  • New Ace are the standard green peppers.
  • Lilac are the beautiful purple peppers.
  • Feherezon are the small yellow ones.
Hot peppers are available to help yourself at the Farm, or in ziplock bags in boxes, marked HOT.

We certainly should get a good crop of red peppers this year! We have Ace Red, and medium red bell, Carmen, an elongated type, Lipstick, a smaller pointy pepper, and Red Knight, larger bell-shaped. Last summer was so cool we hardly got any red peppers.

The potatoes are French Fingerlings - a favorite. We don't have as large a crop as last year so this is the only time you will get these. They are a gourmet variety, just need to be steamed or boiled and served simply with olive oil or butter, salt, garlic, pepper.
