Andy's Goodbye to Market Letter

Testimonials:

Dear Julia and Andy!
I love my Mystery Box! (and my Padron peppers, too) It's absolutely amazing - fragrantly fresh - green - and alive. OMG - it's wonderful!
thank you! -anonymous

tonight: I grilled tomatoes & yellow and red bell peppers & Padron peppers! and, tossed carrots & garlic with shredded kale and vinegar. Everything tastes s-o-o-o good! - Cynthia

I ate the nettles all by myself over 2 days! Sauted in garlic and olive oil. Half was tossed with pasta. The other half was mixed with greek yogurt for a Turkish meze. Yum! -Bridgette

~ Mystery Boxes $25

~ Hass Avocados $6/ 4 pounds. These are grown by Marsalisi Farms... Steve's avo ranch is here near our house in Corralitos. He leaves the fruit on the trees longer than most avo ranches so they get more of the good oils. We ship them hard, you ripen. These are just really yummy. These are the smaller avocados... they're very nice.

~ Rebecca's Black-Eyed Susan Cheese: is a raw sheep cheese aged for 3 months. The flavor is very fruity and buttery, with a nice tang and a rich flavorful finish. It has a dry texture similar to a cheddar. Black-eyed Susan goes well with figs and honey, or salami and brown ale. $7 for 1/4#

~ Padron Peppers $11/# (don't know yet, I'll confirm this a bit later)

Ladybug Buying Club?? We've started that so that anyone anytime can be alerted when we truly have enough for all. If you're passionate about bulk buying please do sign up for the right geographic one for you, and ask your friends, and blog about it too! thank you. Yes, we'll be offering the mystery folks all of this and more. We *won't* be offering mystery boxes to the ladybug buying club at all. But there may be a day when Andy storms in the kitchen and exclaims: "We have 80 pounds of freshly picked padrons! argh!" I can sweetly say: "Let me send an email and go up to SF/Palo Alto/Los Gatos and sell them"! It's an experiment, I hope it works. We can do the same with the tomatoes.
