Thank you CSA subscribers, in supporting our mid-season switch between our two passions: music and food! These past two weekends of music festivals altered our schedule a bit, but rest assured, we are back on track!

In the heat of summer, we crave fresh salads. In fact, for our first weekend festival, the Northwest String Summit, we packed our cooler with 5 different salads for easy camping meals that required no cooking at all! One of our favorites is Tabouli from the Moosewood Cookbook which includes the parsley, tomatoes and cucumbers in your box, to which we add feta cheese and kalamata olives.

The second weekend was FarmFest, which we hosted here on our farm. Still lots of fresh food prep, this time for the artists who graced our stage, and family and volunteers who made the whole event go swimmingly! A favorite dish was the quick pickles WOOFFer Cassie made to go along with the charcuterie table set up for snacks. Quick and easy, these pickles store about 2 months in your fridge (if they last that long!). The Kitchn has a primer for all kinds of pickles to perk up your summer meals.
