Welcome to the second week of the season! We have a couple of new items on the list this week - chard, spinach, and hakurei turnips are available this week. As Drew puts it, "Hakurei turnips are my favorite vegetable that I never knew I liked." These have a very mild flavor and a creamy texture. We like to steam them in a frying pan with just a little bit of water and the lid cracked open. Once the water has cooked off (turnips should be fork tender), add salt, pepper, and butter and cook until the butter turns slightly brown and the turnips start to get caramelized. Keep in mind that you can also cook the greens, either with the turnip root or as a separate dish.

About the farm
One Straw Farm is a family owned and operated vegetable farm in Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. Lovingly tended by Drew and Joan Norman since 1983. One Straw Farm supplies families, restaurants and wholesalers with the finest produce. The goal of farming is more than simply growing a satiable crop, but also the responsibility of safeguarding the integrity of the land we cultivate. Each week we promise you a provision of sustainable produce with a responsible ecological footprint. We extend our value base into the creation of a strong relationship with our market customers and our members through interaction and communication on a daily basis. From our family to yours, we invite you to enjoy our gorgeous home-grown vegetables either through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
