During this past Monday’s Emergency Pea Harvest, we managed to rescue about 10 pounds of fresh green peas for this week’s CSA delivery ! Due to the drought and excessive heat, our CSA member planted pea field collapsed overnight and needed immediate harvesting.
We made a slight dent in the pea field, and will invite members and friends to return this Saturday, June 11th, 8:30 to 10:30 am, to continue the pea harvest. The rest of the peas are dried and will make great seed for next spring and pea soup this winter.
We are also asking everyone to submit their favorite pea recipes to share with each other. So far everyone’s favorite way to eat them is to simply boil or steam them in their pods, sprinkle on some sea salt and eat them like an Edaname ! Tim promises to send us his Mashed Pea recipe !
Eating Fresh Peas!
