What We’re Up To
We got 2 1/4in of rain Tuesday night in about 5 hours- we needed the rain but maybe not all at once. The farm is a bit soggy this week and the weeds are loving it lol Friday will be all about taking those buggers down, hoe and hand! We are busy pruning tomatoes, planting our squash and peppers and trying to find a little extra space for this and that. All in all, we have had a productive spring and are looking forward to summer!

Roasted Spring Veggies | Servings: 4 | total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
1 pound assorted spring vegetables (such as carrots, asparagus, radishes,
spring onions, or sugar snap peas), trimmed or peeled if needed, cut into
same-size pieces
4 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine vegetables, garlic, and oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring halfway through, until tender, golden brown, and charred in spots, about 20 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Pa Muchim (Scallion Salad) | Servings: 4 | total time: 25 mins
Ingredients
3 to 4 medium scallions (1 to 2 bunches of green onions)
Option 1
2 teaspoons gochugaru (or chili pepper flakes)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Option 2
2 teaspoons gochugaru (or chili pepper flakes)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Cut the scallions crosswise into about 4-inch lengths. Thinly slice each piece lengthwise.
Soak the scallions in cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain well.
Option 1: Add the gochugaru, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and toss well.
Option 2: Right before serving, add the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to Option 1 and toss
Note: One popular way is to simply toss them with sesame oil, gochugaru, and sesame seeds. This is a nice option when serving with ssamjang for ssam (lettuce wraps). Due to the lack of salt, it stays fresh longer, so this version is favored by restaurants.
Another option(2) is to fully season by also adding either soy sauce or salt along with sugar and vinegar. Once the salt content is added, the scallions wilt down very quickly, so be sure to dress it right before serving.
We wash everything in your bag but we wash them in bulk so some things may need an extra rinse at home.
Please bring your bag back next week so we can re-use them!
thanks!
