PSFC Produce Update for August 8, 2007

New items this week:

3 new minimally treated local fruits from Hepworth Farm this week are the shiro, a small juicy yellow plum, and the prune type plum. We have beautiful donut peaches, the first we have ever gotten from Hepworth and they are a sweet juicy treat.

The Sycamore label of non-organic honeydews have arrived. Many members are aware of this August honeydew, generally the best of the year.

We have fresh organic lima beans from Burkholder Farm in Pennsylvania.

We have a tiny amount of organic All Blue potatoes from Busy Bee farm in Pennsylvania.

Organic rhubarb, a difficult crop in the very hot weather has returned for a brief run.

Brand new item from Hepworth farm is the organic Mexican sour gherkin which we will be marketing as a mini gherkin. For description and photo of this heirloom cucumber see http://www.seedsavers.org/prodinfo.asp?number=1192
