After what seemed like one of the longest, coldest winters in the history of Pittsburgh we are beyond excited to start a new Spring CSA season! Despite the recent cold temperatures, David Yoder of Nu Way Farm tells us he’s got radishes, spinach, watercress, arugula and green onions coming along at his farm. We can’t wait to see what else our growers will send our way this spring! Please note that we rely heavily on our blog to convey information to our members. Check it weekly to stay informed and to check out the great recipes!
You will note that this year we have two delivery routes: A and Z. We will use these names to indicate to our members what items will be in their CSA share on any particular week. You will see this application in our Harvest List below. We will do our very best to be sure that each route gets its fair share of everything. Although this week both boxes are the same, that won’t be the case as we move through the season.
If you ordered a tote bag when you signed up for your share it will be at your pick up location on April 16th. Please look for one with your name on the tag. Please take a tote bag ONLY if you have purchased one. If you did not order a bag but would like one please email Karlin and we can send it for you next week. We suggest washing these bags in cold and not drying them as they are cotton and may shrink a bit.
This week will be our first flower share delivery. Please take a flower share ONLY if you have purchased one. Your share type will be indicated on the sign-in sheet located at your pickup site. Please refer to the sign-in sheet if you are unsure of what type of share you purchased.
Vegan and gluten free shares will be found in white CSA boxes and marked as vegan or gluten free. Please do not take a VEGAN or GLUTEN FREE share unless you have signed up for one. The pick up sheet will indicate what type of share you are signed up for. Let us know if any changes need to be made.
***There are no items containing gluten in this week’s share so members who have ordered a gluten free share can take a regular, brown CSA box.
*** The Penn’s Corner Farmers and Staff welcome you to the 2014 CSA season! We love hearing your feedback and are always available to answer questions or be of assistance.

from The Pioneer Woman
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender. On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato. With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.) Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
