Green Thumb Farm Huntington CSA

Greetings!

Hooray! We have enough CSA workers to cover today’s early and late shifts (if everyone shows up and there’s no last minute cancellations due to…life  )! Thanks to everyone that responded.


That said…anybody want to buy a Basil Share today???

It’s $10 cash for 4 bunches of lovely, certified-organic Green Thumb Farm classic Italian Genovese green Basil.

Someone ordered a Basil Share and low and behold, when the time came for delivery, they recalled they’re growing Basil and the last thing they need is more (though I don’t think I could ever have enough).

Basil is great in and on many things, is so good for you, and Pesto is good on everything! Corn on the cob, toast, pasta (of course), in eggs, on various meat (steak, chicken), in a wrap or sandwich…and on and on!

Get in touch with Fritz Lang (I’ll get you the contact info) if you want Pine Nuts that won’t be from China to use in your Pesto (and you don’t have to use Pine Nuts for Pesto anyway…you can use Walnuts, etc).
