Notes on the box.

nappa cabbage

rhubard

butterhead lettuce

Spinach

rainbow chard

salad mix

green onions aka grunyuns

radishes

Be sure to remove greens from radishes for storage. The chard and lettuce will store best in a plastic bag. The rainbow chard stems are edible! You can chop them and cook them before the leaves since they take a little longer to cook than the leaves.
Napa cabbage is another fantastic stir-fry food! Or if you want a cooking project, you can make it into filling for dumplings.
Are they scallions? Spring onions? Green onions? Here at Turnip Rock we call them Grunyuns and we like to put them on everything!
The rhubarb is from our friends at the farm formerly know as Sleepy Root. They have stopped running their CSA, but they still have a nice big patch of rhubarb. We went to a potluck last weekend and there were 5 rhubarb desserts! Otto made shortbread with rhubarb compote last night and it was great!

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese.

This week we have our cows milk feta and Antares, our cows milk manchego. Both are big strong flavors. We love the feta on pizzas and in quiches. The Antares is great for a cheese plate or shredded on some scrambled eggs with chopped green onions.

On the Farm.

Thanks so much to everyone after the first delivery! It went pretty well with minimal mix-ups. Hooray! As always, take the box with your name on the label and only take cheese if you have cheese share highlighted on your label and in the cheese box. And of course, let us know if we missed anything in your box or if there’s any problems and we will do our best to fix it!
We’ve been happy to get some rain right on time! Planting, picking and packing, and lots and lots of weeding going on! Otto and Sadie are now home from school and have been helping out in the fields.
Do you want to come and visit the farm and see where your food is coming from? We would love to have you visit on July 16 as part of the Coop Farm Tour! Mark your calendar! We will be giving guided tours every hour on the hour as well as self guided tours whenever you like. We will be grilling burgers or brats, have the farm store open for you to pick up some groceries, and we would love to meet you! Check out the Coop Farm Tour website to see the other farms that are also open and for more information. Also, if you come, make sure to let us know that you are a CSA member!
