Experimenting with Herbs

Posted on June 7th, 2018 by Reuben DeMaster

Herbs are such a wonderful addition to the nutritious vegetables in your box. 

Many of our herbs keep growing all season long and we will be offering them to you as often as we can.

The main two varieties are culinary, or cooking, herbs and medicinal herbs. Of course, many of them can be used for both purposes.  Chives, basil, mint and parsley are thought of as culinary herbs while anise hyssop and catmint are considered medicinal. 

My recommendation is that you try an new herb and the best one to start with this week is Anise Hyssop.  It is a wonderful sweet taste that can naturally sweeten a smoothie, homemade ice cream, or an herbal tea.

BOX PICK UP MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE:

Occasionally we add items to our Farm Product List that you may not have customized your preference for.  This would be a good week to check your preferences before your box is finalized at noon tomorrow.  Just log onto your account and click on Preferences.

 INTRODUCING OUR PACK ROOM TEAM:

Danielle is our Pack Room Manager and Britta is her assistant.  Together they wash and bag or bunch all the vegetables and then pack your box according to your choices each week.
