In the Box; Week 24

Note from the farm:
We have some delicious greens in the share this week, including mustard which I LOVE!!!! Just 2 more deliveries after this week and then the season will be over. It’s bittersweet for us every season, although perhaps a little more sweet than bitter because it means we can spend more time with our families.

Baby Bok Choy – 1 bunch
Green Mustard – 1 bunch
Russet Potatoes – 1 quart
Red Boston Lettuce – 1 head
Leeks – 2-3 pieces.

In the Box; Week 23

Note from the farm:
We’re winding down our active season here at that farm, but that doesn’t mean that the last few CSA boxes will be redundant with roots and storage crops. No, not at all! This week we are happy to have radicchio again- and curly cress too! A lot of crops like the cool days and colder nights- especially the greens that take on a sweeter flavor when touched with a light frost.

Arugula – 1/2 lb. bag
Carrots – 1 bunch
Curly Cress – 1 bunch
Potatoes – 1 quart
Green Romaine Lettuce – 1 head
Radicchio – 1 head
Peppers – 1 pieces.
Broccoli – 2 pieces

In the Box; Week 22

Note from the farm:
Golden beets are in this week’s share – for the first time in 3 years! I *love* the color of these beets– so pretty when roasted and tossed with arugula and toasted walnuts in a salad. Daikon radish may be new to many of you. It’s often used in Japanese cuisine. It can be sliced raw, or cooked in soups. We like to add it to a miso soup broth together with other vegetables and some udon or soba noodles. Guy Lon is just a fancy way of saying “Chinese Broccoli”. We love it in a veggie stir fry! The stems can be eaten– just remove the tough bottom inch or so. More leeks, beautiful cabbage and sweet potatoes round out the box. Sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry spot (55F-60F degrees) — Not in the fridge! — and they should last you a few months.

Arugula – 1/4 lb. bag
Golden Beets – 1 bunch
Daikon Radish – 2 pieces
Sweet Potatoes – 3.5 – 4 lbs
Green Cabbage – 1 head
Toscano Kale – 1 bunch
Broccoli – 1 bunch
Leeks – 2-3 pieces
Guy Lon (Chinese Broccoli) – 1 bunch
