CSA 2025 - Week #3 (A)

 
 

JuLY 1, 2 & 3

Happy July! On the menu this week... kohlrabi! Most of you are unfamiliar with this wildly popular veg (in Europe) .  It's a member of the cabbage family and it's so delicious and versatile.  Kohlrabi slaw, sliced raw, and even great grilled!  As foodies, we love good food. But as farmers, we want to grow food that is good for you too! Kohlrabi is a powerhouse veg packed with vitamins and nutrients...you just can't get any better. 

Good food, good health, good life! 
 

Here's to a happy and safe Fourth of July holiday!

IN THE BOX…

Kohlrabi
It's a funny looking veg, but it might become your new favorite! Simply remove the leaves and peel off the skin with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Watch this quick video!
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge.
What I'm making: Peeled, sliced and sprinkled with salt OR grilled kohlrabi

Scallions
Also known as spring onions, we love to let them be the star of the show. Scallion pancakes are a favorite.  You can also throw them on the grill!
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge.
What I'm making: Scallion Pancakes

Red Beets
These are so sweet!  The skins slip right off after they are cooked. When in doubt, just boil them until knife tender and let cool. Slip off the skins and toss with butter and salt.  Or let cool and slice them in a cold salad.
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge.  Remove the greens from the roots before storing!
What I'm making: Simple boiled beets with butter and salt.

Spinach
Our spinach is nothing like what you find in stores. It's sweet and doesn't have that metallic taste.  We carefully balance the potassium and minerals in our soils to ensure that the spinach plants have everything they need to grow strong & delicious!
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge.  
What I'm making: Spinach Lasagna

Red & Green Boston Lettuce
Your farmers' FAVORITE lettuce! -- so tender and buttery (also known as "Butter" lettuce).  Point is, don't overpower it with a heavy dressing. 
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge. 
What I'm making: Salad EVERY night! 

Collards
This cooking green is traditionally eaten in southern cuisines.  I love it steamed or cooked slowly in a stew. But in the summer, I prefer it as a wrap!
Storage: In an airtight bag in the fridge.
What I'm making: Collard Wraps
