On the farm this week: This week we moved 2 of our Caterpillar tunnels to their summer homes. They will be both be filled with peppers to give them a boost in the heat department as well as a little extra protection from the elements. We also got our potatoes and Brussels sprouts out i the field finally, making me feel like spring has come to an end and summer can start any day now. The spring push can be a bit brutal some years when we get a late winter so it always feels like an accomplishment when we get our long season planting out.


 

In Your Bag This Week


Butterhead Lettuce: Tender green heads are great for salads, lettuce wraps or sandwiches. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Spinach: slightly sweet, crisp and tender. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Romaine lettuce: this is an heirloom bib romaine head with great flavor and great tenderness. Use as a salad, in sandwiches or wraps. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Kale: Dino or Curly, both can are tender as they are young plants. rip the leaves from the stem and chop for a salad or use in a sauté. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Flavor Mix Micros: mild and tasty, these make an easy salad on their own or can add some color to any other salad. Store in your fridge.


Radishes: peppery and crisp! the greens do not look great this week but the radish part is still tasty so cut off the tops and compost them. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Bunching Onions: super versatile, chop the whole onion and discard the root, add to any dish for a depth of flavor. Store in a bag in your fridge.


Cilantro or Rosemary: Both make a great addition to salads, tacos or baked dishes! Store in a bag in your fridge.


Micro Arugula: peppery and clean tasting. these go great over eggs, pizza, sandwiches or added to salads. Store in your fridge.
