Our farm is bursting with delicious abundance for you! This warm, dry fall has allowed vegetables to grow beautifully, so we're opening up our digital FarmStand right here. You can place an order through this email and pick up on Wednesday, November 23rd at our farm. (If you would like our good but need to pick up elsewhere, we suggest you order through Fall Line Farms and choose from 20+ pick up locations around RVA.
We have a great assortment of fall vegetables for your Thanksgiving enjoyment!
Our Tender (Siberian) Kale variety is really phenomenal! See photo below. We love slicing it up with other greens for raw salads (combine with Salad Mix, or Lettuce, or Cabbage). It's also lovely in soups or stir fry. For stir fry we also love to combine it with Cabbage. Greens make the world go round with nutrients, fiber, and flavor!
Our Cabbage continues to shine! (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. :)

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!
