We are always mesmerized this time of year by sheer amount of food that is out in the field, and this fall in particular the bounty is nothing short of extraordinary. The field is covered in rows of lush green, something we get to enjoy in the fall. You'll see all kinds of greens, roots, fruits, and more on the harvest list this week.
If you're finding yourself with an abundance of Turnips or Kohlrabi, try shredding it in a slaw. Radishes and savoy cabbage make a great addition, too. We love this recipe from Dishing Up the Dirt: Miso Glazed Turnip and Kohlrabi Salad.
One of the lesser-known greens we grow is Bok Choy. If you've never tried it, we recommend you swap it into your share this week! It's one of our favorite greens and it isn't available all year round. Try it steamed or sauteed with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
You'll see a new item on our extras list this week: Flying Plow Chicken Stock! The stock comes in quart containers, and is made exclusively from our own Organic, pastured chicken bones.
