notes on the share
Broccoli is gorgeous this year! Steam lightly -- aldente broccoli is fabulous-- mushy broccoli, not so much. The Red Russian kale in this week's share is extremely tender. I would recommend eating it raw in the salad recipe (see below). I just devoured an entire salad bowl full myself for lunch today!
News from the Farm
We've been harvesting more potatoes and cleaning up the fields in preparation for cover crop seeding. Our fall greens and roots are growing wonderfully. I think we might just have a wonderful end to a not-so-great growing season, but I don't want to speak too soon!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Harvest Festival on Sunday. The weather was glorious and it was great to see many of you!
