Farm Happenings for December 10, 2020

Posted on December 4th, 2020 by Anna Bunk

Hello everyone!

The days are short and for the last few days, the first chunk of each day has been very cold and frosty leaving very few light hours to harvest from the field. It's a special time of year to be eating from the farm; the leafy greens are sweet and tender, the radishes are mild and crisp, the cabbage is crunchy and deliciously sweet ‘n spicy. None of the produce looks quite as good as it did a couple months ago, and it's all much much more difficult to harvest now. But it's worth it for those winter flavors! We feel grateful to be so well nourished from the land during these beginning weeks of winter when optimal health is so important. These seasonal transitions can be so hard on our bodies and we can all use all the support we can give ourselves. 

This coming week we will be delivering to the following Seattle neighborhoods (plus locals can pick up on the farm):

Madrona, Fremont, Queen Anne, University District, Wallingford

My tips for ordering this week: the spinach is out-of-this-world delicious, stock up on lots of Antioxidant rich almonds to stay well (plus good for our mental health helping to reduce anxiety...), kale kale kale, load up on immune-boosting (and antiviral) delicious garlic- we won't have it for much longer, get your daily dose of probiotics with a little Sauerkraut from Getting Cultured made with River Run cabbage- fresh out of the crocks made exclusively for you all.

We are also now offering pumpkin seeds that were organically grown in Oregon! Very excited to have found some regionally grown pumpkin seeds to share. These super seeds are super healthy and thrown in salads and stir fries, they're an easy way to pack in the nutrients.

We’re all stocked up on nuts, beans, flour and ferments for y’all!

Thanks for your support,

-Anna and the River Run crew
