Hope you've all had good weeks out there! Getting that real summer heat now so irrigation is a more regular thing, as well as weeding.
Here's your 3rd customization email and week of veggies. Still lots of greens coming on but we're very excited to see carrot tops, swiss chard, kale, and little green tomaters out there.
We are looking to hire a 3rd FT farm hand! If you know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to share the posting! Only requirement, apart from the skills & abilities, is that they are 30 or under. But it is FT, Mon-Fri.
I imagine everyone is eating more salads than they ever have in their life! We are still working through the greens, but we have some different varieties popping up. This week, we have some lovely mini bibb lettuce heads. They are grown and harvested small because it makes them super tender and sweet. There is more info on the exact varieties we have here. We've also got more Hakurei turnips this week, since they have a limited season. I also suggest people try sauteeing the greens from these, if you haven't already! They are super juicy and delish. I throw them in chopped at the end, just to wilt. Spinach, more Health Kick, arugula, pea and sunflower shoots, purple scallions, cilantro, and choi are all in the boxes this week as regular items or swappable items.
Thanks for the boxes! We've got most back and we'll keep taking them, so feel free to leave them with Mint & Lime, at the Tuesday or Friday farmers' markets, or outside your door if you're a home delivery.
Thanks again for your patience and support as we get settled into the season, everyone. Hope you like the veggies!
