Summer // Fall Week 11

WEEK 11 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Bell Peppers, Shishito Peppers, Green tomatoes

HERBS: Cilantro

ROOTS: Potatoes

GREENS: Salad Mix, Napa Cabbage

BONUS: Honey!

 

Week 11 Recipes

Green tomatoes are just tomatoes that didn’t get the chance to ripen. You can make fried green tomatoes, salsa verde, or chow-chow with them. Or, if you have the patience, you can leave them on your counter and they will ripen into the tomatoes you know and love.

Summer // Fall Week 10

WEEK 10 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Eggplant, Tomatoes

HERBS: Garlic, Basil

ROOTS: Beets

GREENS: Arugula, Salad Mix, Pea Shoots

 

Week 10 Recipes

Pesto- yes, we love pesto. It can be added to any starch, freezes super well and always tastes great. This week you can take your basil OR arugula and make a great pesto! Throw it in a blender with a handful of nut or seeds (we usually use walnuts or sunflower seeds), garlic, and salt. Start blending and slowly add olive oil until you have the consistency you like! You can also add a few tbsp of water or broth to thin it out a bit. Pesto will last about 2 week in your fridge or freeze it for a longer life!

Summer // Fall Week 7

WEEK 7 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Tomatoes, Shishito Peppers, Apples

ROOTS: Ginger, Radishes

GREENS: Pea Shoots, Broccolini

 

Week 7 Recipes

Some of these apples might look a little ugly, but they’re delicious! If you don’t want to eat them straight, you can peel and use in a recipe like this Apple Crisp!

Broccolini tastes great- like the best broccoli you’ve ever had! - but you can treat it more like aspagrus when you cook it. Use the whole thing- stems, leaves and florets! On the grill, in the oven, or chopped up and sautéd. If you’ve never had, it’s likely to be one of your new favorites!

Summer // Fall Week 5

WEEK 5 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Cherry Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers

ROOTS: Radishes, Potatoes

HERBS: Garlic

GREENS: Salad Mix, Shiso (Japanese Mint)

 

Week 5 Recipes

This is a great recipe for Bacon and Shiso Fried Rice. However, we like to add Shiso to any asian-inspired dish we are making! When we’re feeling lazy (but still want to be healthy!) we like adding some veggies to a pack of store bought ramen, and adding chopped shiso on top! An incredibly cheap and fast meal, but tastes gourmet.

Summer // Fall Week 2

WEEK 2 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, Eggplant, Grapes

ROOTS: Onions, Garlic

GREENS: Chicory, Celery

 

Week 2 Recipes

Italian Cooked Chicory - Chicory is a bitter green, but its packed with nutrients and if you treat it right - its a tasty treat! We always pair it with another strong flavor - anchovies or lemon or hot pepper flakes. While it’s great as a side on its own, we love to add the cooked greens to pasta, or save in the fridge to add to sandwiches or on top of eggs!

Summer // Fall Week 1

WEEK 1 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes, Shishito Peppers

ROOTS: Garlic

GREENS: Lettuce Mix, Pea Shoots

HERBS: Basil

 

Week 1 Recipes

Blistered Shishitos - These frying peppers are usually mild, though every once in a while you might get a slightly spicy pepper! Can be used in place of any mild pepper, but frying these with some oil and salt is an all-time favorite here at the farm!

Spring // Summer Week 14 (Last week!) (Copy)

WEEK 14 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Green Beans, Cucumbers

ROOTS: Scallions, Kohlrabi, Beets

GREENS: Salad Mix, Rainbow Swiss Chard

 

Week 14 Recipes

Kohlrabi is like a cousin of the broccoli stem and a distant relative of the apple. Sweet, crunchy, and cabbage-y, we LOVE kohlrabi. Best eaten raw, you can slice this up and eat with hummus or your favorite dip, or add to a salad. Kohlrabi Slaw is a favorite too, and you can add beets or other leftover farm roots too!

Spring // Summer Week 11

WEEK 11 /// PRODUCE LIST

PRODUCE: Sugar Snap Peas, Cucumber, Black Raspberries

ROOTS: Carrots, Scallions

GREENS: Lettuce Mix, Collard Greens

 

Week 11 Recipes

My favorite way to cook collard greens is simple. Add a little water to the pan and steam the chopped greens. Add butter, honey, and cayenne pepper. Wait until the water is cooked off and the greens have just started brown. Pull from the heat and eat with pasta, over rice, or as a nice side dish!
