The theory (and hope!) is that by changing the biology of the soil, we will \u2018bio-remediate\u2019 the brown rot fungus problem, shifting the \u2018balance of power\u2019 from the bad microbes (Brown Rot) to the healthy microbes!  \n\nIf successful, we may never have another apricot failure again.  Furthermore, we\u2019ll be using materials mostly from our own farm to provide fertility and disease control, while providing more work for our own workers. \n\nAll this keeps dollars local, helping to rebuild the local economy and changing the ecosystem one million microbes at a time.  \n\nFanatically Fungal, \n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\"> \n\n\n\n<strong> Gluten-Free Coconut Cupcakes with Chopped Pears\u2013<\/strong>\nFrom Andrea Boje, CSA Member and creator of The Holistic Chef  http:\/\/theholisticchef.blogspot.com\/\n\nEveryone says they don\u2019t like coconut, until they try this cake. \u00a0It tastes so fresh and real, not like the fake coconut flavoring they are used to. This recipe uses gluten free flours, and you won\u2019t even know it isn\u2019t a regular cake. \u00a0I had a lot of pears around, so I added them and loved the combination!  I hope some of you have pears left over from last week!  \n\n2 cups granulated sugar\n4 large eggs\n2 \u00bd cups gluten free flour mix (see note below)\n\u00bd tsp salt\n1 Tbsp baking powder\n1 tsp xanthan gum\n1 cup oil, canola or grape-seed \n1 cup coconut milk, (Thai Kitchen is a good brand)\n1 \u00bd tsp vanilla extract\n1 tsp coconut extract\n\u00bd cup dried coconut, finely shredded\n\u00bd to \u00be cup pears, chopped small\n\nPreheat oven to 350o. \u00a0Place cupcake liners in a 12 capacity muffin tin. Place sugar and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer (or a large bowl). Beat at medium speed until well mixed and fluffy. \u00a0In a medium bowl mix flours together with salt, baking powder and xanthan gum. \u00a0Add flour mix to the bowl and beat for another minute. Add oil, coconut milk and extracts and continue to beat for another minute, scraping the sides as needed. Gently fold in shredded coconut and pears. \n\nPour batter evenly among cupcake liners and bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or tops are lightly brown and a toothpick placed into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean. \n<strong>\nGluten Free Flour Mix:<\/strong>\n1 cup brown rice flour\n\u00bd cup sorghum flour\n\u00bd cup potato starch\n\u00bd cup tapioca starch \n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In This Week&#8217;s Box [box_list] Navel Oranges, Fuerte Avocados, Olsen Organic Farm, Lindsey, CA Navel Oranges (larger type) Purity Organic, Kerman, CA Meyer Lemons, Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA Algerian Clementine&#8217;s, Satsuma&#8217;s, Abounding Harvest, Los Gatos, CA Kiwis, Chiechi Farms, Gridley, CA Pink Lady Apples, Cuyama, New Cuyama, CA From Farmer Al Dear CSA Members\u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[59,35,9],"tags":[287,171,230,288,289,133],"class_list":["post-4168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-newsletter","category-recipes","tag-apricot","tag-brown-rot","tag-compost","tag-fungal-dominant","tag-gluten-free-coconut-cupcakes-with-pears","tag-recipe"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5HwAU-15e","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/froghollowCSA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
