The Tomatoes are Starting to Come in so Join us...

Italian Secrets of Preserving Tomatoes
There is nothing like New Jersey local tomatoes – especially when you combine them with age-old Italian home recipes. Phyllis Deering, our resident professional, will teach us her grandmother's secrets to making amazing tomato sauces at home. Now when the tomatoes are coming off the vine faster than we can count. As good as they are, we just can't eat them all, today. Join us on Thursday, August 27th at 1:00 pm.
The cost covers the professional, the organic ingredients and the jars. Join us at this pleasant afternoon social, to learn the secrets of homemade tomato sauce in Marnie's kitchen. For more info call 973-335-4469 or go to www.meetup.com/MountainLakesOrganicCoop. Please RSVP.

We have reached the mid-point of our season with Starbrite and I am working on some changes. Hopefully your next basket will reflect those changes. Our members have generally wanted a few more basic vegetables rather than the array of unusual ones. I have expressed this to John and we are working on it.

Enjoy!     Marnie
