Bean Trio
Grower: Hostetler Farm
Store: Store unwashed fresh beans in a reusable container or plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. Whole beans stored this way should keep for about seven days. Freezing Green Beans: Rinse your green beans in cool water and then drain. Cut the ends of the beans off and then cut the beans to whatever length you prefer.
You can cook all of these beans the same way, however the dragon tongue beans will lose their purple color when cooked. To retain the color, blanch or steam for a short time.

CSA Cheese members will receive 3/4 lb. Tussey Mountain cheese from Clover Creek Cheese Cellar
Tussey Mountain is our twist on an Emmenthaler Swiss. We named it in honor of the large mountain we see in front of our farm every day. It is drier and saltier than some of our other cheeses and at times lacks the traditional Swiss holes or ‘eyes’. For a blind cheese, it has a great buttery Swiss flavor. We love the way it melts for fondue or on top of hot sandwiches.
