Message from the farmers

Greetings:

A new item in your share this week is the Cheddar Orange Cauliflower.  Although we have grown this variety now for a few seasons, it still brings a smile to my face when I recall an actual question a customer asked me at one of our markets.  That person asked me with all seriousness, “What’s that?” pointing to the Cheddar Orange Cauliflower.  I replied, “It is an Orange variety of Cauliflower called ‘Cheddar’ ”.  The person nodded their head thoughtfully and then asked me, “Does it taste like Cheese?”  I was somewhat taken back initially, but after a moment of collecting my thoughts, nodded my head and then replied, “No, actually it tastes a lot like Cauliflower”, pointing out that we had some of my neighbor’s Goat Cheese right on the nearby table that tasted a lot like Cheese.

I can only hope that our drinking water does not come from the same source as that person’s.

Be well,

Fred & Karen
