So I feel like my CSA is getting smaller and smaller. I am assuming its because the weather is garbage and the world is coming to an end.

(I bought the carrots)

If you look at CSA 7 2012, it too is slightly low on veggies but big on fruit, albeit different. Then CSA 7 2011 was really big and happy. Regardless, I made a kick ass juice. Recipe in post.

Vegetables:
Beets, 1 bu
Cucumbers, white and/or green, 1 lb
Scallions, 1 bu
Lettuce, 1 head
Beets, 1 bu
Green or gold string beans, .5 lb
Parsley, 5 sprigs
Basil, 3 sprigs

Fruit:
2 Pints Organic Blueberries
1 lb Cherries

Eggs:
½ Dozen Pastured Eggs

Flowers:
Multi

Cheese:
Goodale Farm, Aquebogue NY (around the corner from Garden of Eve), home made mozzarella, AND greek yogurt, AND chevre (fresh goat cheese)

MMMM I smell another grilled pizza in my future!

Now for the juice,

So, the beets are getting out of hand and I am still not great at stomaching them, so I bought the purple carrots and some apples to make a juice. I figured the purple in the carrots would make the best color, and I was totally right.

2 green apples
6 beets
1 bunch purple carrots
1 cucumber
5 sprigs parsley
2 lemons
1 lime

Isn’t that gorgeous? And I have to say, this is a WINNER. Best juice I have made with beets to date. Every morning I have a little glass with a tablespoon of bee pollen for my allergies. And I know beets, apples and carrots are sugary, but they ain’t a cupcake so get off me.

XOXO
