2 quick announcements before we get to the VEG.

1. Our *Spring* CSA membership is full, with harvests starting near the end of April, if all goes off without a hitch.   If you didn’t sign up we’d LOVE to have you on our wait list, which you can join here. We’ll fit you in as soon as we’re able.
2. Registration is open right now for our SUMMER CSA season. We can’t wait for the dream of cucumbers and tomatoes to be here in a few short months. Did you join yet??  Summer season delivers from late June into August. You can join Summer season here.

To check if you’ve joined, log in and use the Season drop down menu to see if you’ve already registered, or you’ll notice the box on the right that says “You don’t have a subscription. Click to Join”

Here’s your vegetable line-up for this week’s beautiful harvest:

• Spinach – small bags of deep green spinach, grown in the soil in our little greenhouse. The flavor is excellent. We love to saute ours into our scrambled eggs every day. Enjoy!
• Leaf Lettuce – bags of tender baby leaf lettuce, perfect for spring salads.
• Carrots –  Loads and loads of crunchy, colorful carrots. These store well so you should be able to use them over a few weeks.
• Arugula – peppery, delicious arugula! My favorite cool season salad green. Excellent with parmesan, walnuts, and goat cheese, perhaps some seasonal or dried fruit. Just keep it simple to enjoy the flavor here!
• Radishes – These baby roots are crunchy and sweet, and the tops are edible, too!
• Sweet potatoes – These were grown by our neighbor and friend Tony Phillips, just a couple of miles down the road from the farm. He’s a great grower and turns a quality crop each year, and while he isn’t organic, he doesn’t spray anything on the potatoes (like sprouting inhibitors: known endocrine disruptors).

Veggie Storage tips:

• Everything wants to be washed well before cooking, but keep the dirt on till then, to prevent faster spoilage.
• Everything but the sweet potatoes wants to be stored in your fridge. Seal all your leafy greens up in a bag or container to retain moisture for longest storage life.
• Roots will store best when severed from their tops, and stored separately (remember the tops are edible, too!)

We’d love to hear stories and recipes of your culinary adventures this week. Tag us on Instagram or Facebook, showing us how you’ve used your CSA share.

Your farmers, Jess & Justin
