Preliminary Order for July 15th 2014

Summer's bounty is here!  Hope you enjoy the selection.  Items in green are regionally grown.   In honor of Germany's World Cup victory, I am going to recommend that you google "German Potato Leek Soup."  The recipe looks like a good match for some of our items this week.

We may have a few extra boxes from various locations. Current pick-up sites include: Homestead, Redlands, Cutler Bay, SW Kendall, South Miami, and Miami Springs. Miami Springs is not actually recieving a delivery this time. If you are a member of this group, we may be able to coordinate something with South Miami. Call me if you're interested.

In an effort to switch things up a bit, I moved things around.  I have put the bananas in the fruit share.  I enjoy pureeing extra frozen bananas and sometimes sprinkling them with chopped peanuts.  It makes a wonderful ice-cream substitute!  Also, we had a little extra money in the budget as credit from the figs we did not get last time, so you may see a bit more on this list than usual.  Sadly, figs were not available to us this time either.  We have never gotten donut peaches.  Their size and shape is unique.  I hope you enjoy them!

This is a preliminary list, so substitutions may happen.  I still need to confirm the local mangoes and check on the black grapes.  If they happen to not be seedless, I plan to substitute with some dapple supreme pluots.  Hope this helps with your planning!

There has been a request for whole chickens and organic chicken breasts, but I need more orders before I can get a case.  Let me know if you are interested in these items.  We are having a supply issue with the pork, so it's temporarily unavailable.  Let me know what you would be interested in for next time.  If you want strictly organic, you may have to order a half case.  A full case of whole chickens comes with 8 birds. Cases of breasts and thighs have 15 trays.


Our local egg supply has been growing.
Special thanks to Dave and Isabel Schieferly for inviting our community to their farm to see how they are building an organic sustainable farm from the ground up!  We love your eggs!  Dave and Isabel are supplying us in Redlands and Homestead with pastured eggs.  Their chickens are fed all non-GMO, soy free, organic feed in addition to munchies growing on the farm!  These eggs are $6.50 dozen.  Limited supply.

Our standard option for $5.10 dozen is either local pastured conventional eggs or organic free roaming. 

Organic Coconut Flour:  Our family eats Gluten Free so I am always looking for good wholesome foods to supplement.  Tropical Traditions has a ton of recipes online using this healthy, high protein flour.  $10 per bag, 2.2 lb each.  7 bags available.
