Melissa, Can anyone come to see your gardens and buy your produce? This is the first I've heard of it and it sounds wonderful!
Sharon, please come and visit! We'd love to show you around. However, the idea in a CSA is that our shareholders participate in the all the risk of the garden, so naturally they get all the bounty as well. Therefore, if there is overflow, it goes to the shareholders - no selling.

We tried this tonight with some peas I picked yesterday morning - TREMENDOUS!!! :)
HONEY GLAZED PEA PODS AND CARROTS
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups sliced carrots
1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Add pea pods and cook until tender crisp; drain and set aside.
2. Melt butter in the same pan and stir in cornstarch. Return carrots and peas to pan and stir in honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
We haven't tried this one yet, but it looks promising!
BEET BUNDT CAKE (No, this isn't a typo!) :)
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter or margarine, softened, divided
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
3 eggs
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
2 cups pureed cooked beets
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and brown sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Melt chocolate with remaining butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Blend chocolate mixture, beets and vanilla into the creamed mixture (mixture will appear separated). Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely. Before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.
