Celery

Shallots
Grower: Gid’s Produce

Sweet Corn

White Peaches
Grower: Dawson’s Orchards
Store: Store peaches at room temperature until ripe. Refrigerating peaches before they are ripe can
lead to loss of flavor and texture. After they ripen on the counter top, place them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Recipe: White Peach Iced Tea, White Peach Cobbler, White Peach Walnut Loaf
Green or Carmen Peppers
Grower: Blue Goose Farm/ Weeping Willow Farm
Store: Store the peppers in a tightly sealed plastic bag on the top shelf of the fridge (peppers store the best at between 45°F and 55°F). You can also freeze almost any kind of pepper for as long as a year; just seal them snugly in plastic bags. Frozen peppers will retain their flavor and heat, though their crunchy texture will be lost—not a problem in the case of chiles destined for cooked dishes and salsas.
Recipe: Black Pepper Steak , Eggplant and Roasted Carmen Pepper Sauce, Quiche Lorraine with Onion and Green Pepper
Lacinato Kale
Grower: Clarion River Organics (James Lengacher Farm)
Store: Wrap kale in a loose bundle with a damp paper towel or a thin cotton kitchen towel, place it in a large freezer bag, seal and refrigerate them in the crisper drawer
Recipe: Lemony Braised Lacinato Kale , Orecchiette with Cauliflower and Lacinato Kale Recipe, Lacinato Kale Salad with Grapefruit
Cantaloupe
Grower: Clarion River Organics (Riverbend Acres)** or Weeping Willow Farm
Store: Refrigerate ripe melons, but do not freeze. It is best not to cut a melon until you are ready to eat it. If you need to return cut melon to the refrigerator, do not remove the seeds from the remaining sections as they keep the flesh from drying out.
Recipe: Roasted Cantaloupe , Salmon with Cantaloupe and Fried Shallots, Prosciutto and Cantaloupe Appetizers
Yellow Summer Squash
Grower: Clarion River Organics (Country View Farm)
Store: Refrigerate yellow squash unwashed, in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer.
Recipe: Parmesan Baked Squash And Zucchini Spears, Lemon Summer Squash Bread, Easy Grilled Yellow Squash
Eggplant
Grower: Clarion River Organics (Country View Farm)
Store: Keep eggplant in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, and use it as soon as possible after harvesting or buying. You can place it in a vented bowl, but avoid sealing it in a plastic bag, which can increase decay. Eggplant is highly sensitive to ethylene, a natural gas that causes certain foods to ripen (and eventually spoil) very quickly. So it’s best to keep eggplant stored separately from bananas, tomatoes, and melons, which are all high ethylene producers.
Recipe: Eggplant Caponata , Spiced Peppers and Eggplant, Fried Eggplant
Grape Tomatoes
Grower: Clarion River Organics (Hidden Valley Farm)**
Store: Storedat room temperature out of direct sunlight or in the refrigerator crisper in a plastic clamshell or paper bag
Recipe: Marinated Grape Tomatoes with Shallot and Garlic, Grape Tomato Cream Cheese Tulips, Grape Tomato Tarts
Yellow or Red Watermelon
Grower:Clarion River Organics (Riverbend Acres)** or Weeping Willow Farm
Store: Keep whole watermelons at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Once cut, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
