CSA Autumn Share 2014 - Week #12 (18 June/20-21 June)
/TWELVE WEEK OF THE AUTUMN SHARE Next week is our final CSA box for this season. Please leave a cardboard box or esky out for your vegetables. No crate will be left. We also ask that you ensure all crates are left for collection - Thank you!
NOTES ON STORING THE HARVEST Please check out our Vegetable & Fruit page on the website to find tips on maximizing the life of your veggies. We envisage that many of the vegetables you are receiving this week will last for two weeks with careful attention to storing upon arrival. Although we do wash all the greens after harvest, we are washing to take the heat out of the plants and wash away some surface dirt, not to prepare them for consumption. We also spray a seaweed/herb brew about every ten days. While this will not harm you, it does have a taste. We do suggest washing your produce prior to eating.
