Friday January 30th, 2015

Amazing, gorgeous, beautiful day!  So lucky to have this job!  Spent much of the morning in the high tunnel picking greens for customers.  4 kinds of Kale, Tatsoi, Mixed Greens (mustards, kales, arugula, among others), Lettuces left here today with happy, smiling, "soon to be tasting the goodness" folks.  We also have radishes and turnips with greens ready.  This is the time of year to get these greens at their peak.  "Cole" crops love the cooler temps and are never sweeter or more tender than they are now. We pick at "baby" size for as long as possible....they do grow, after all and will eventually get to mature size...so they can be used in salads as wells a braising mixes, etc.

Call ahead Mon-Thursday and order up your goodies and they will be picked and waiting here for you on Friday.  Someone is here at the office 10-3 WED - FRI this time of year, so come on out to the farm!

New and Improved Blog for 2014

As it says in the description of this blog, it is an updating of the blog kept for our CSA members. There is so much good stuff to share, I decided to make it accessible to everyone.  Right now, a lot of the posts are from last year so some things may not seem relevant now.  As we progress, that will change.  The recipes are listed on the left side bar by the title of the recipe. Some of the recipes are in "collections" meaning that there are more than one recipe on a single entry.

There are loads of links to other good foodie stuff, too. There are links within the posts and the tabs at the top of the page and even a Fun Foodie Info list that will take you to other informative stuff.  I post lots of pictures, too.

Remember, you are what you eat, so eat happy!
