Purple and green kohlrabi sure look cool when they are ready to harvest, it is one of the few that people ask what it is every time they see it in the fields. Did you know that kohlrabi can help improve overall metabolism and aid with weight loss. It is also high in calcium and magnesium so it contributes to stronger bones. Lastly, I have a good bit of it that is ready to be harvested! :) A few other new items made the list, and I am happy to say we are going to harvest carrots over the weekend so they should be back next week. I have been refining my Spring farm plan and I am waiting for seeds to start coming in, it will be here before we know it! Stay safe and healthy!
