Hello CSA Members!
June and summer is here shortly as we finish up the last few weeks of spring with some great produce for you! We’ve got a great crop mix this week for you this week and between all the harvesting, and washing of crops coming in we have spent our time weeding after all the rain we’ve had.
This week in boxes we have a great list of crops for you and some of my favorites including.
Broccoli: This super nutritious veggie is coming in early with small heads but there should be enough to give everyone some of this classic spring crop
Micro Greens: Everyone will receive either micro broccoli, spicy mix, or arugula this week for micros with a random pick for each box…. Enjoy these on sandwiches, for salads, or
Romaine lettuce: These heads will pair well with just about anything as a crunchy salad, I’ve even heard you can grill romaine but i’ve never tried it myself. …
bunched sauté greens: you will receive a mix of blue lacinato kale and swiss chard for sautéing, our early greens suffered some increased insect pressure this spring so these may show some damage but will be tasty cooked up.
Kohlrabi: A member of the brassica family, the kohlrabi is basically a cabbage apple as defined by its germanic roots in its name. Its crispy sweet and great raw for a snack, cooked, or grated for slaw or salads.
Red beets: These delicious roots are great roasted, and the greens are similar to chard and can be prepared the same way as chard or spinach.
Green onions: These tasty scallions can be used anywhere, don’t overcook them, you can use them raw or add them near the end of a stir fry for some great flavor.
Thanks everyone and enjoy the early summer crops! There is just not enough time in a day even with these longest days of the year coming up right now. I have been working all day every day to keep up but that’s the norm for me. I hope you all eat well from the crops we’ve provided this week and be well! -Kyle
