BLUE: Giving you more color this week

Posted on December 16th, 2021 by Suzanne Williams

Blue Adirondak potatoes DO retain their color when roasted, boiled or fried.  I can't wait to see what you make with them.  Share in our Member Group HERE.

There's more fingerling potatoes, kohlrabi and butternut squash.  We even got herbs for you: cilantro and parsley!

I'm keeping in this info about Winter radish so you have the links to the recipes. Winter radish is more mild than the crunchy spring radish you are used to. These two articles and the recipes they include will get you excited to try them.  Reuben tells me there are some white and some black varieties this week. I'm not sure which one I'll get so I'll have fun experimenting along with you.  Share your recipes and successful dishes (or failures) with us on the Member Group on Telegram. Member's have been sharing their experiences and really enjoying the camaraderie. Need an idea or recipe quick?  Just ask us!

  

Look for Haven Farmstead aged cheese and salami in Extras as well as the Pastured Pork from Farmer Reuben. 

Enjoy your veggies this week!  Your next delivery will be on January 5! All the double deliveries are over and from now on the last four deliveries are every other week. 

Let us know if you have any questions about your Farm Share CSA - we are happy to help.

We'll keep farming for you!
