Our last shares for this season are next week! (Some every-other-week members have their last share this week.) We'll still have LOTS of produce available through mid-December, so please visit our self-serve FarmStand at our farm or our booth at the Farmers' Market at St. Stephens. We'll have vegetables (and bread) at both places through December 10th. After mid-December, we'll take a break from harvesting and selling until some time in February. (Winter weather will dictate exactly when.)
Spinach is now ready to harvest! See photo above. It's rich and tasty!
We also have really fantastic Cabbage for you this week. (The round, smooth, American variety.) We love love Cabbage and eat it raw as slaw/salad, in a saute with bacon and caraway seeds, in a stir fry, or roasted and topped with some yummy sauce/dressing. Also as sauerkraut and Kimchi, but those are next level endeavors. :)
Our daughter made a salad/slaw last week that was the most delicious we've tasted in a while. Here's what she did:
Thinly sliced Cabbage, Romaine Lettuce, and Kale. Toss with dressing made of Apple Cider Vinegar, White Wine Vinegar, Olive Oil, Salt, and a touch of honey. (Plus a dash of Sriracha if you're up for it!) Add Pecans, plus also Raisins or Dried Cranberries if that's your jam.
She also made roasted Carrots and meatballs. We enjoyed our Pumpernickel bread on the side. Here's what our dinner looked like:
More cooking suggestions:
-> Saute turnips in a pan on the stovetop: Slice the roots into circles. Saute in butter with NO SALT and the edges of the turnips will caramelize a wonderful brown color and taste great. Salt the buttery turnips after they are done cooking. (Salting them while cooking results in them sweating and not caramelizing.)
-> Roast Beets: Dice beets into chunks of desired size. NO PEELING NEEDED. Roast in oil. Salt after they are done cooking. Serve on a bed of greens with feta or goat cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper, and protein (pecans, walnuts, tofu, meat...).
-> Air Fryer Kale Chips: Massage our Kale leaves with oil and salt and pop in an air fryer for 5 minutes to turn into crispy chips. So good!
- Same for cooler(s) at pick up locations with any cold items that aren't vegetables (fermented vegetables, etc...)
