We're sending home a lot of tomatoes this week, along with some beautiful collard greens. I suggest sauteeing the collards with onion and garlic, and then eating them with pinto beans. Beets can be handled the same way -- you don't have to peel them. The plums should be allowed to ripen on your counter for a couple of days, while the tomatoes should be eaten with every meal. Come on out and dig some potatoes this weekend.

About the farm
Great Country Farms is a diversified family farm on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using sustainable growing practices, we raise 50 to 60 crops each year, which we sell to members and visitors. We believe it is important to make clean, nutritionally vibrant food available to as many people as possible. It is our mission to give people a chance to see how their food grows, and we want to preserve the ecosystem of our soil for future generations.
