half share + base share + large share
Strawberries - J&J Produce, Sunnyside, WA - Jake and Jesus at J&J Produce hope to share with customers how delicious strawberries can truly be. "The large scale centralized strawberry production system shortchanges customers in both measurable and immeasurable ways. Most people haven't eaten a fully ripe strawberry in their life, which is a wrong we are trying to right."

Enjoy in one of our LINC Box Recipes - Kale Salad with Balsalmic Shallot Vinegarette, Kale + Crispy Chickpea Salad, Kale and Golden Beet Salad, or our favorite during these summer months, our Avocado Kale Salad recipe!

Slicer Tomatoes - Resilience Farm, Spokane Valley, WA -or- Better Together Farm, Spokane, WA - Their bright red, smooth skin, high sugar and acid levels, and low moisture content compared to other tomato varieties, Roma tomatoes are ideal for cooking down into a tomato sauce or paste. Unlike beefsteak tomatoes, Roma tomatoes are not as juicy or as sweet which is why they're more commonly cooked than eaten raw. However, they taste delicious in salads and even in sandwiches!
Sweet Corn - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - Nothing says summer like fresh corn on the cob! Grill to make elotes (Mexican street corn) or boil and spread with butter and salt.
Walla Walla Onion - Elithorp Farm, Deer Park, WA - These onions are favored for their consistently sweet and mild flavor when raw, and due to their high sugar and water content, they take on a deep, sweet, and warm flavor when cooked.
