Welcome to our extended season. Over the past months we have adapted to changing realities in the food system as demand for local food from our farm has increased two-fold. We're glad to have you eating along with us as we provide Kingston-grown produce fresh to you for November-December 2020. Some eaters are Fall-share shy due to the increase of brassicas (a.k.a. crucifers), in particular radish. We encourage you to get to know and enjoy your brassicas. They are our cold-climate friends. They grow well in the cold and store exceptionally well. And, they are versatile in usage and varied in flavour. For example, the napa cabbage offers similar frost-kissed sweetness to the carrot, whereas the radish offers a spicy kick more akin to arugula (a.k.a. rocket). So, dig up some new recipes and dig in to what this season offers.
There's lots else in the shares still.
May we suggest: coleslaw, braised cabbage, simmered daikon (sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and peanuts for extra crunch), sliced watermelon radish, daikon oroshii, sunchokes and kohlrabi accompanying carrots to dip in baba ganoush or humus? While scanning the recipes, check out the health benefits listed in the braised cabbage recipe.
