We're switching our primary greens to spinach and kale this week, but arugula and mesclun are still available for adding or swapping. The lettuce and the Jacob's Cattle beans are going to have to wait until next week. We're also packing red turnips instead of beets this week, though we still have beets available. We decided to cut the tops off he red turnips so the root balls will keep longer, but the white Hakurei turnips will still be packed with their greens. The best way to preserve the Hakureis is to put the greens in a ziplock bag and the root balls in a closed container with a damp paper towel on top.

About the farm
Great Country Farms is a diversified family farm on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using sustainable growing practices, we raise 50 to 60 crops each year, which we sell to members and visitors. We believe it is important to make clean, nutritionally vibrant food available to as many people as possible. It is our mission to give people a chance to see how their food grows, and we want to preserve the ecosystem of our soil for future generations.
