What’s in the box?

Herb pot - thyme, oregano, sage, parsley, and/or thyme
radishes
bagged spinach (medium and large)
zesty salad mix
cilantro
chard (it’s not rhubarb!)
head lettuce
salad turnips aka hakuri turnips
bok choi

Notes on the box.

Remove tops from radishes and turnips for storage. Tops of both are edible.
The Chard is sometimes mistaken for rhubarb. It’s not rhubarb! You can eat the stems and also the leaves and it’s not reccommended for baking! Recipe below.
greens and lettuces will keep best in a plastic bag in the fridge.
Herb pots! Keep them in a sunny spot and take off what you need. They will do really well if potted out into their own pots or outside if you have the space.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares

Circle of the Sun and Garlic Dill Quark - I started off the season with two of our most popular cheeses. The Garlic Dill Quark is super nice on a piece of bread with thinly sliced radishes. Or just on a cracker. Or in a veggie wrap with lots of lettuce and a protein. Also really nice on scrambled eggs.
The Circle of the Sun is a farm original and is great for snacking or shredding for tacos or cubing for salads.

Recipes.

Sauteed Hakuri Turnips
heat a tablespoon of butter or other fat in a pan
wash and halve or quarter turnips depending on size. Chop greens roughly and set aside. Sautee turnips until tender and lightly browned. Add greens and cook until wilted. Season to taste and enjoy! Radishes can be cooked the same way.

On the Farm.

Welcome to new CSA members and welcome back to returning members! The last few years we’ve written about the challenging unpredictable spring weather. This year…. here we are… Please practice social distancing at your drop sites and please take care of yourselves and each other. We hope that the veggies give you time to nourish yourselves and your family. There will be thoughts and observations about the farm, and food systems, and Organic growing in later newsletters, but for now we will leave it there. Enjoy some pictures of the farm. We will see you next week!
