Hello all,

Yes, we have Sweet Corn and Fresh Cranberry Shell Beans. They may be picking the Fresh Black Cocos today as well!!!! As Wayne said last night (while we were eating our leftover Shell Bean Stew as burritos), "The Cranberries are really good, the Black Cocos are even better and the Marrowfats are the best." Come on in and try each one as they mature and see what you think for yourself!

For those of you who don't know, the Fresh Shell Beans are dried beans that are not yet totally dry. Certain varieties are good in three ways, as green beans, fresh shell beans and later as dried beans. We usually start harvesting them in their shell bean stage. You need to take them out of the pods (which is quick and easy) then add to sauteed onion/ garlic with a bit of water and simmer until tender, which usually is 15 - 20 minutes. I added extra stuff the other night: Sumer Squash, Inferno Chile, Fresh Tomatoes, Sweet Corn off the cob and Cilantro. It kind of grew as I looked around the kitchen! Simple, elegant. Come check them out!

What else? Sweet Lettuce, Strawberries, a few Apples, Kale, Chard, Carrots, Beets, Green and Yellow Fresh Beans, Red Onions, Garlic, New Red and Yukon Gold Potatoes, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, Green Onions, Cilantro, Beautiful Basil thanks to Justin and his pruning, Lots of Red, Ripe Tomatoes, Sungold Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers and Chiles including the Padrones, Infernos, Poblanos, Anaheim (my home town) and many more, Baby-ish Summer Squash, hopefully some Eggplant, Cucumbers (really loving them this year for some reason), Dill, Arugula, Asian Greens and ............did I mention the Sweet Corn?

lots of new Hot Sauces including one bottle of Padron left, the Chile Jams, Heirloom Corn Meal, Dried Beans, Sauerkraut, Pickles and I think that's it.........

OPEN TUESDAY - FRIDAY 11 - 6 AND SATURDAY 10 - 4

REMEMBER TACO NIGHT ON SEPTEMBER 2. All you can eat Tacos to benefit the White Barn Rebuilding Project! Speaking of White Barn, the Farm Stand will be moving soon!

That's it. I'm off to the swim I hope (it's a cross training day for the 1/2 Marathon training I'm doing) http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/nikesf11/etruxaw

Hope to see you this weekend at the Farm Stand.

Thanks everyone for all your great support.
