Hello Farm-ily!
I LOVE April! Don't you?
We are celebrating spring with daffodils, hyacinths, blossoms on the apricot trees and adorable baby chicks...the peeps will be here mid next week.
This week we're offering the first delicious lettuce salad mix and the first Hakurei turnips of spring.
We're harvesting more micro greens (aren't they delightful?), cilantro, spinach, pink beauty and French breakfast radishes, spring onions, arugula, spicy salad mix, chard and the last of the tunnel kale. Get kale this week if you love it -you won't see much the rest of this month.
The hens have been working hard through this last bit of cold weather and we have colorful, nutritious eggs on offer, too!

STORAGE TIPs-OF-THE-WEEK -
Separate the greens from the roots when storing carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, etc., to maximize shelf life.
Pop your scallions in a cup of water in the fridge or store in a plastic bag or wet paper towel.
