We have grown so many delicious vegetables for you! This email lets you know that you can place an order for pick up this Saturday, May 6th, through our digital FarmStand here.
Our Farm Share starts next week, but our fields are already bursting with vegetables -- so you can pre-order them here!

Pick up options for this Saturday = at our farm, at Good Health Herbs, and at the Farmers Market @ St. Stephens.
This week we have only vegetables and Eggs available for pre-order. We are baking bread this Saturday but won't offer the bread for pre-orders. (Our new crew needs this week as a simplified warm up for next week!) NEXT week we will also offer our loaves of bread for pre-order for Farm Share members.
Here on the farm we are having world-class salads for every lunch and dinner. The flavors are so delicious! We most often just use Olive Oil and salt and pepper as salad dressing, but we also regularly make this Ginger Miso Scallion Dressing which also doubles as a really great general "Sauce" to go on top of most everything. We put all the ingredients in a quart Mason jar and then blend with a stick blender. The "Braggs" we list here means Bragg's Liquid Aminos, which is similar to Soy Sauce or Tamari.
Other vegetable notes:
- Our Cucumbers are best NOT peeled! Enjoy those peels! (and the tiny seeds)
- Our Turnips are really tasty prepared as a saute in a pan on the stove top. Slice the roots into rounds and saute in a pan with butter/avocado oil/fat of your choice until the edges caramelize/brown. They get so sweet and tasty this way! Salt them AFTER cooking so as to prevent them from sweating and then steaming instead of caramelizing in the pan.
- Slice up those Radishes and serve them on top of salads, or with butter and toast. Or pickle them with rice vinegar and honey/sugar and serve them on top of Korean Tacos. See this Quick Radish Pickle recipe.
- KALE: Eat it as raw salad, or put it in Portugese Kale Soup (there are LOTS of versions of this recipe online), or dry it and powder it for use as a supplement, or freeze it for use in smoothies all summer long. SEASONAL NOTE: We will have Kale each week between now and Juuly 1. Then we won't have any Kale until maybe late September. If you want to use Kale in July, August, and/or the first few weeks in September, you need to preserve it! Freezing is best.
Enjoy all of this food! We are honored to grow food to nourish you.
