On the farm this week: First frost has officially come and gone! It feels really good in a way, even though it looks like we will not get another for a week or so, it is nice to know that even nature is ready to slow down a bit lol.
Reminder: you will find your bag hanging UNDER your name in the walk-in cooler in our farm stand.
In Your Bag This Week
Sweet Onions: Walla Walla onions are your classic blooming onion deep fried to all glory lol, chop and eat any way you want :) Store in a dry dark place
Broccoli Greens: These are actually my favorite leafy green. These are a bit sweeter than kale and I like the texture better too. Cook them up the same way you would kale and enjoy something new. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Tomatillos: Peel the paper off the fruit and wash (they tend to be a little sticky). Then you can roast, grill or pan fry. They make a great salsa or marinade. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Peppers: large sweet peppers and one Hot pepper! make some great pico de gallo this week! Store in a bag in your fridge.
Leeks: these beauties take all year to grow and have the most amazing buttery onion flavor. Slice down the middle and rinse out the inner layers then chop to add to soups, sautés or casseroles. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Micros: Flavor mix or Radish shoots, both can be added to sandwiches or salads to add color and flavor. Store in your fridge.
Baby Red Potatoes: So good! wash them off and enjoy new potatoes at their finest! boil or roast, pan fry or sautéed, you can't go wrong. Store in a dark cool place.
Radish: Beautiful petite red radishes have a nice flavor and add color to salads and crunch to sandwiches. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Garlic: Store in a cool, dry place.
Celery/Celeric: This is a 2 for 1!! The celery on the top has a beautifully strong flavor making it great for soups or slow cooked dishes. The Celeric, the root ball of the celery, is also tasty, like if a potato and celery had a baby. Cut the skin and roots from the sides then chuck up and either boil till tender or pan fry. Makes great 'fries' or can be added to mashed potatoes as a carb reducer. (also great on its own). Store in a bag in your fridge.
