Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell are the farmers and innovators behind Beekman 1802, a 200-year-old estate and farm in upstate New York. We'll be running recipes, gorgeous photos and tales from the farm as their crops come into season.

Why is it that everyone plants zucchini, even though it is blatantly obvious that one plant is enough to feed an entire village? (At Beekman 1802, we count ourselves among the guilty.)

Anyone who has ever grown one knows that this prolific plant produces far more zucchini than one could ever want. You never know what to do with it all, which is probably why zucchini bread was invented, and our neighbors pass it around like Secret Santa gifts: Someone is bound to come to your doorstep with zucchini right as you're ready to give some away.

Rumor has it that folks keep planting it because of our fabulous recipe for grilled summer squash. We dare you to find a recipe that beats this melange of fresh herbs and creamy squash for embodying pure summer.

The zucchini storm begins

I honestly didn't think it would happen this quickly. I mean, it's not even the middle of July, and already the stream of zucchini and other summer squash coming my way is a bit more than I can consume in a given week. Part of the problem stems from the fact that my boyfriend won't touch the stuff and so I am responsible for eating our half of the CSA zucchini and yellow crookneck squash that arrives each week. Add to that the fact that I have some lovely friends who planted pattypan squash in their community garden plot primarily because they know I like it, and it's a lot of squash.

Don't take this as a complaint though, as the flood of summer squash is motivating me to look to new sources for recipe inspiration. This week, our CSA newsletter pointed me in the direction of The Green Earth Institute, an organization out of Illinois that runs a CSA, as well as programs for kids and teens about locally grown foods, nutrition and how to eat well. They have an immense archive of recipes that are sorted by ingredient (in my case, I clicked on the zucchini section) and they are all fairly healthy and many sound like they'd be appealing to kids and families. I think I'm going to take some of our zucchini and make this Squash and Cheddar Cheese Casserole. Maybe if I cover it in enough cheese, bacon and eggs, even Scott will find a way to enjoy zucchini.
