So now you have fava beans and need to do something with them.  Last year's fava bean share inspired the following geeky rant on my kitchen experience with this lovely but ...seemingly unearthly veggie:

I gotta tell ya I found all kinds of wonderful recipes online but actual information on other very important aspects…well… Let’s have a look:

Summer is officially here and so is the heat. The last several weeks have been hot and dry and all our crops have been effected.

Our peas are coming in very quickly and are all bunching up as to when they are ready to harvest, coming in all at once. Coming in this fast they will then be gone just as fast.

We had a good strawberry season even with them coming in early and being done early; the dryness and heat made for very flavorful berries. The tomatoes are doing very well as the dryness and heat are serving them well, too.

Lewis Waite has extended the order deadline for the July 13th delivery to tomorrow, July 9th, so there is still plenty of time to place your orders for wonderful local meats, cheeses, breads, honey and many other lovely products.
