Baked Apple Pancake With Apple Cider Syrup
We are so so so excited to have our first apple of the season! Rambo apples are a good baking apple. Not the best for eating on its own, hold for the honeycrisp apples for that! I'm not quite prepared to dive into baking apples for things like pies and anything that alludes to fall/winter. However, I will always make an exception for pancakes!
Ingredients:1 cup brown sugar
2 cups apple cider
cinnamon sticks
1 large unpeeled apple, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 eggs (can sub egg whites for some of the eggs)
2/3 cup skim milk
2/3 cup bread flour (can sub all-purpose or whole wheat)
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 tablespoon sugar

Join Our Summer Crop Share!
We are happy to announce that we have opened registration for our Summer Crop Share! For this round, all produce will be locally sourced. We try and keep the selection fresh, seasonal and diverse, so that you are not eating the same thing for dinner 6 weeks in a row.
This 8-week round will start on July 20th and go through September 7. Pick up is at Nalls Produce, Friday 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. or Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Some of you may have participated in CSA's in the past. Our program is a bit different. First, we don't commit you for great lengths of time. Our Crop Share runs 6-8 weeks at a time, pretty continuously all year. That way if you are out of town a lot in the summer or don't like fall vegetables too much, you can sit that round out. Second, we source from multiple farmers. That means that you get variety. We are not at the mercy of a tomato blight wiping out our crop and you not getting any tomatoes. We work very hard to ensure diversity and quality.
We also let you order "add-on" items to your order like organic milk and eggs, locally baked bread from Great Harvest and more. You just indicate what items you want and we have it waiting for you along with your Crop Share box every week. You just pay at the time of pickup.
Summer Crop Share Pricing
8 Week Small Share (Feeds 2, approximately 1 peck) - $160
8 Week Full Share (Feeds 4, approximately 1/2 bushel) - $320

Corn Radish Salad With Chile-Jalapeño Dressing
For those of you who have not had Lake Mattamuskeet onions, they are super sweet! They're sweeter than Vidalia onions and not as moist so they keep a little longer.

4 ears of raw sweet corn, husked and silk removed
10 to 12 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup either thinly-sliced or small-diced Lake Mattamuskeet onion
1/2 to 3/4 cup coarsely-chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 to 1 jalapeno chile pepper (or long hot pepper) seeded and coarsely-chopped
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
3 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
