News from the Farm

The recent snowfalls have made the farm a beautiful and quiet place.  The only challenge has come as the days have warmed, turning the farmroads into a mushy mixture of mud, snow and ice.  We've already had to rescue one car that ventured into partially unplowed territory making for a bit of excitement.  Otherwise, all is relatively calm and peaceful as we continue to organize and prepare for the coming growing season.  You can always tell when spring is around the corner: The light in the farm office is bright and full on these February afternoons, and we have just a little bit more time to finish our outdoor chores before darkness descends.

Kohlrabi Update
Some of you may have noticed the fuzzy grey growth on the Kohlrabi.  We actually had quite a discussion about what to do.  The part of the kohlrabi where the leaf stems were attached had degraded separately from the main part of the kohlrabi bulb and were either turning black or growing grey fuzzies.  We tried to put them through our washer, but the concrete floor in the washroom was still frozen and the turned into an ice rink when we turned the water back on, so we stopped.  We then rubbed off what we could and decided to give them out.  We cut open a few kohlrabi to make sure the interior was firm and crisp.  Since kohlrabi is completely peeled before cooking we decided that the outside growth would not stop us from distributing it.
Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions about your produce.  We always like to hear from you and it's important for us to know if there are any concerns.

News from the Farm

In our last email we welcomed Zinn, who is now four weeks today, and growing cuter by the day!  Today, we welcome Stephen Searl, our new Farm Manager.  He comes from a family farm on the North Fork and most recently worked for Peconic Land Trust, a not for profit conservation organization that preserves farmland and open space.  He will be managing the CSA program and post-harvest production, and will be involved in many other aspects of the business including production, marketing, and outreach.  Stephen lives in Southold with his wife and two children.

In other news, the bitter cold of last week kept the farm relatively quiet and kept us focused on indoor work. Despite the snow that continues to fall outside, this week looks warmer and wetter...

Something new...Belgian Endive!
You may receive Belgian Endive in your share this week, and if not this week, then in the next delivery. 

Belgian Endive is a member of the chicory family and is a gourmet specialty prized by chefs.  It starts out growing as a root crop in the fields during the summer.  It is harvested in the fall and the tops are removed for storage.  We then plant the roots in batches in shallow trays and allow them to force a head in complete darkness.  (This is why the endive is white and pale yellow.) You can read more about the growing process of Belgian Endive here:  http://kitchengardeners.org/growing-belgian-endive

We recommend savoring the endive raw in a salad with shaved parmesan cheese and a light vinaigrette.  While most Belgian Endive is bitter and often cooked, ours is not, so we recommend trying it raw to best experience its delicate flavor and texture.

Notes on the Share

This is our final week of CSA for the 2012 season.  If you want to make this week's share last you into the holiday season, you're in luck!  They can all be stored well under the correct conditions.  The Beets, Cabbage and Carrots can be stored in the fridge in a plastic bag for about a month.  The Potatoes can be stored in a cool, dark place (not in the fridge) and the Sweet Potatoes should be kept in a cool (not cold) dark place.  

News From the Farm

We've come to the end of another growing season here on the East End of Long Island.  Overall, it was good season for us.  The warm, dry summer was just what our crops needed, and we lost very little to disease (like in past rainy years).  We want to thank you for your membership this season and we hope you will join us again in 2013.  We will be sending out a notice as soon as our renewal application is available on our website in the next few weeks.  Have a very happy and healthy Holiday Season! - Maggie, Matt, James & Galen

Broccoli - 2 pieces

THE FRUIT SHARE HAS ENDED.

Notes on the Share

Leeks are delicious in soups or braised on their own (see recipe below).  Watermelon Radish can be sliced raw in a salad or roasted to bring out their meaty flavor.  Green Kale is great in hearty fall soups, Russet Potatoes are the perfect variety to bake in the oven, and Cabbage and Broccoli are stars of the fall harvest.  Finallly, tender Baby Carrots to snack on raw or roasted in the oven to bring out their sweetness.

News From the Farm

Our work is slowing down now that the season's end is in sight.  There are still a lot of storage crops to harvest for the winter shares, including carrots, beets, rutabaga and endive. A soon as a crop is harvested, we're clearing the fields and planting cover crops.  These will reduce erosion over the winter and fix nitrogen in the soil so the fields will be in excellent shape for planting into next spring.

Notes on the Share

A lovely fall box of produce this week.  We tried to include many items which don't need to be cooked, just in case you're still without electricity or cooking facilities.  The sweet potatoes will store, but they should not be left outside in cold temperatures.  Most other items can be left outside if you don't have electricity to keep them in your fridge.  

News From the Farm

The farm is doing well after the storm.  No damage to report.  Our best wishes go out to members who suffered loss and damage from the storm.

Notes on the Share

It's a brassica bonanza! Kohlrabi, Red Kale (make this kale salad!), Guy Lon, Broccoli, Watermelon Radish (see recipe below) and Bok Choi are all members of the brassica family and grow well in the fall.  Remember to keep your greens wrapped tightly in a plastic bag in the fridge so they stay fresh and hydrated.  Beautiful, sweet Red Beets are delicious roasted in the oven (see recipe below), and a sack of Yellow Potatoes roast up beautifully and make yummy mashed potatoes! 

News From the Farm

There's still a lot of action in the fields these days - finishing up our potato harvest and seeding cover crops.  Our cover crops are seeded on empty fields (after our vegetable crops are harvested) to protect and enrich the soil throughout the winter and into late spring. Some of the varieties we plant include hairy vetch, rye, triticale, oats, crimson clover, and red clover.  Next week we will begin our massive storage crop harvest for the winter shares, which include storage varieties of carrots, beets, turnips, rutabaga, kohlrabi and watermelon radish.

Notes on the Share
Kale is back!  I am in heaven.  Red Russian Kale for everyone this week and I highly recommend the kale salad recipe below.  This variety is best enjoyed raw because of its super tender leaves and mild flavor.  (If you're getting more than one kale this week, you can identify the red kale by its red stem.)  Green Batavian Lettuce or Green or Toscano Kale, depending on your pick-up day and location.  Green Cabbage is back for the fall too. I think I may try a cabbage soup to warm things up one night this week. (See recipe below.) Butternut Squash, which we have been roasting in chunks in the oven, but is equally delicious in a creamy soup (kids love it!).  Baby Arugula for a tender salad and Cilantro! (See the Huffington Post link below for some great recipe ideas using cilantro!)

Notes on the Share

What a spectacular box of fall greens!  Escarole (the frilly lettuce look-alike) is a member of the endive family, less bitter than you would expect, and can be eaten raw in a salad or cooked.  The link below to Martha Stewart's primer on escarole is great for those unfamiliar with this delicious green.  Mesclun Lettuce Mix and Boston Lettuce will provide you with a week's worth of delicious leaf salads.  Baby Bok Choi is a favorite, braised or cooked alongside tofu in many Asian dishes.  Japanese Salad Turnips can be eaten raw or cooked. We like to slice them up and sprinkle them with a little sea salt.  The green tops are delicious when sauteed with garlic and olive oil.  Kohlrabi may be new to many of you too!  Try slicing thinly and enjoying raw, or roast them (recipe below).  Toscano Kale - thank goodness this one is back for the fall!  I need my daily kale fix and this variety is perfect steamed with garlic and umeboshi vinegar (my favorite way to eat it), or baked into kale chips or thrown into soups.  A lovely bag of tender Arugula and a box of Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes round out the shares.  Wow!  I can't wait to get into the kitchen this week.
