Stacey from The Farm at Sunnyside says "We're all enjoying the warm weather and taking advantage of the grill outside. To put it to good use, make a whole meal on it and never heat up your kitchen! For a vegetarian burger option, shred the beets and mix with black beans, chopped onion and pepper and spices for a hearty veggie burger. Make some colorful veggie kebabs with chunks of squash, onions, peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Grill until charred and soft. Make a spicy sauce with basil, hot peppers, olive oil, and lemon juice and drizzle over the veggies. Top your burger with some cheese and sliced tomato."

• 1 bunch basil - A summer flavor that plays well with pasta and pizza, TOMATOES and SQUASH.
• 1 box okra or shishitos - Okra is a classic addition to stews and soups. Also delicious fried or made into a quick stir-fry with ONIONS and TOMATOES.
• 2 onions - These fresh spring onions are super sweet and are delicious raw and cooked!
• 2 lbs squash - Squash is the true jack-of-all-trades, put it in pasta sauce, on the grill, shaved thinly raw on a salad, the list goes on.
• 1 bunch beets - Sweet and earthy, these beets are delicious roasted or shredded to make veggie burgers.
• 2 lbs tomatoes - Slice 'em up and layer with mozzarella for a caprese or layer onto your BEET burger!
• 3 peppers (hot + sweet mix) - Purple, green, or red, these early peppers are sweet and vegetal. A jalapeno or fresno can add some heat to a salsa with TOMATOES and ONIONS.
• 4-5 apples - These Pristine apples are our earliest variety and have a tart-sweet flavor and super crisp texture.
• 1 box cherry tomatoes - Red, yellow, purple, or pink, these little tomatoes are like drops of sunshine! Eat 'em all fresh or make veggie kebabs with SQUASH and ONIONS on skewers.
