Blueberries
Grower: Dawson’s Orchards
Store: Do not wash the berries before you store them; wait to wash the berries until you are ready to use them. Cool your berries down to room temperature before storing them. By doing this, you can avoid a lot of condensation in the blueberry containers
Recipe: Blueberry Zucchini Cake with Lemon Buttercream, Blueberry Buckle Cake with Lemon Glaze, Blueberry Arugula Salad with Honey Dressing, Blueberry Moscow Mules
Parsley
Grower: Blue Goose Farm
Store: Store parsley in the refrigerator. Keep it covered and wash as you go.
Recipe: Cheesy Zucchini With Garlic and Parsley
Basil
Grower: Blue Goose Farm
Store: You can keep basil fresh for up to two weeks by placing the branches in a vase (first, give the ends a trim) and keeping them on the counter out of the sun. This method is ideal when you’re likely to be using it frequently for cooking throughout the following week or so.
Recipe: Blueberry Basil Smoothie, Blueberry Basil Lemon Pops
French Heritage Tomatoes
Grower: Weeping Willow Farm
Store: At room temperature on a plate not in plastic, keep out of sunlight. Keep in mind that storing in a refrigerator can make tomatoes mealy and the skin dry. If you find that your tomatoes are not yet ripe, let them ripen on your counter top for a few days.

Cherry Belle Radish

New Red Potatoes
Grower: Nu Way Farm or Weeping Willow Farm
