Pomegranate envy

Some CSAs in the US grow their own pomegranates.  Even with global warming, I don’t think it’ll ever come to that here in Cornwall. 

Compare Camel CSA’s share this week with the harvest from Beneficial Farms CSA in New Mexico: – Salad Mix, Radishes, Scallions, Turnips, Onions, Acorn Squash, Tomatoes, Red Delicious Apples, Sweet Pomegranates.

Pomegranate recipes from Beneficial Farms CSA include ginger and pomegranate muffins as well as pomegranate guacamole.  (What next, you ask.) 

See Poms for more intriguing recipes and pomegranate health tips.

Crunchy carrots

We can enjoy our very own carrots in Camel CSA’s veg boxes this week.  We also have the apples we picked last Sunday in St Mabyn.

All that tender loving care has paid off!  All those painstaking hours spent handweeding carrot beds suddenly seem worthwhile. 

We’ve already taken delivery of our share of the harvest.  So, as they say, this list is just for the record…

In the small boxes: -
*carrots (Camel CSA)
*onions (Camel CSA)
*leeks (Mark Norman)
*peppers (Jeremy Brown)
*salad bag (Jane Mellowship)
*apples – Lord Hindlip (Charlotte Barry)
potatoes (Burlerrow, St Mabyn)
kale (Rest Harrow, Trebetherick)

Medium boxes also have:
*parsnips (Camel CSA)
calabrese or tenderstem broccoli (Rest Harrow, Trebetherick)

* = grown to organic principles
