On the farm this week: Mid summer and we are grateful for the bounty! There is nothing better than a big salad full of fresh goodies from the farm on a hot day. Our first beans and cabbages are sizing up and should be ready soon as well as possibly some new potatoes :) Enjoy the season!
In Your Bag This Week
Fennel: Sweet and bright, this is a really unique veggie. chop up the bulb and sauté or roast then you can also chop the fronds to use as an herb with fish or chicken. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Red Boston Lettuce: perfect for any salad or lettuce wraps. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Green Onion: Chop and add to pretty much anything for a little hit of onion flavor. 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 a bag in your fridge.
Hakurie Turnips: These are one of my favorite, the root can be eaten raw or cooked and has a sweet juicy flavor. The greens are very similar to arugula with a spicy taste to them. Store in a bag in your fridge.
Cucumbers: These have got to be the quintessential kick off of summer. Eat alone or chopped in a side dish. Store in your fridge.
Arugula: Perfect in salads or over pizza, on sandwiches or wraps! Store in your fridge.
Radish or Sunflower Shoots: add for a bit of 'extra' to almost anything: tacos, salads, cheeses & wraps. Store in a bag in your fridge.
