Varieties grown: Calypso, Cool Customer, Lemon, Shintokiwa, Silver Slicer, Manny

Nothing says summertime like a juicy, fresh-tasting cucumber. We grow slicing cucumbers of different colors, as well as a few varieties of long Asian- and European-types, and pickling cucumbers.

How to use them:

• Sliced and eaten raw on sandwiches, in salads, or alone with salt

• Combined with dill, red onion, and yogurt to make cucumber salad

• Grated into a traditional tzatziki sauce, then served on falafel or grilled lamb or pork

• Lactofermented, canned, or made into refrigerator pickles for later enjoyment
