Saturday was a very full day. All the farm tractors worked on various parts of the farm--disking, seeding, cultivating. And volunteers and worksharers came in full force, and they not only harvested, but also weeded and hoed. Thanks! The strawberries are not yet at their peak, but this did not deter shareholders from picking ripe berries. Sarah Tooley, who frequently volunteers at the farm, besides getting her hands dirty with field work was given the farm's camera and recruited as a photographer. Here are three of the photos she took.

Garlic Scape Recipes: I've done a little research on the Web and found numerous discussions and recipes. Below I list several sites I've found. One has more than 20 recipes, including scape soup, pesto, deep-fried, etc., etc.
Enjoy!
Here are a few garlic scape recipe references. Some are somewhat repetitive. Note that some of the site URL's may have line breaks and you'll need to copy and paste the parts together in your browser.
