2022 Harvest 6

Howdy folks and welcome to week 6! We’re so happy with the weather recently. A few hot days was necessary for our summer crops and now the cooler weather coming in this week is a total treat. This is feeling like a good old fashioned Pacific Northwest summer from my childhood.

We hope you all are enjoying the leafy greens while we’ve got them. Summer crops are definitely delayed this year (zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, melons, eggplants, etc.) and while they’re growing, they have had a slow start. We actually lost over 180 watermelon plants earlier this month due to the cold nights. We’re sitting up at a little elevation here at the farm and with so many spring nights in the 30’ and 40’s things had a hard time establishing in the fields. But we’re turning a corner and feeling optimistic!

Anyhow, we hope you all made some room in your refrigerators for this week’s haul!

Happy cooking and eating everyone.

Your farmers,
A & T & Little P

2022 Harvest 5

Howdy folks and welcome to week 5 of your CSA! Things are taking a turn and there is more variety coming your way each week. Today we’re excited to have the seasonal debut of kohlrabi (one of our absolute favorite veggies!) along with rainbow chard, carrots, turnips, lettuce, spinach, Bok Choy and more garlic scapes. We’re pretty stoked with the weather forecast as we need some heat out here to get the summer crops a jump start. They are really slow this year as we’ve had multiple nights in the 40’s and just so much cool, wet weather. So this forecast is getting us pretty pumped for the weeks ahead. Bring on summer!!

We hope you all love this week’s harvest and some of the recipe suggestions below. Happy cooking and eating everyone!

2022 Harvest 4

Howdy folks and welcome to week 4!! This week it’s all about those GREENS!! Yep, there’s a lot of greens this week and I’ve got some fun recipe suggestions to help you get through the sea of green in your boxes. The weather has made it pretty great growing conditions for greens and has made things a little slower for everything else. However, I promise you won’t be eating salad forever. There’s a lot of great things on the horizon but for now leafy greens are where it’s at!

The mustard greens are wonderful served with a little oil, lemon juice and sea salt for a simple salad. Or braised and cooked liked the recipe suggestions below. The collard greens are AWESOME right now and I love serving them raw in a “slaw” or salad. Just make sure you stack them, roll them and then slice them as thinly as possible. Then massage a little oil and lemon juice over them before dressing them to your liking. There’s also plenty of recipes below that incorporate the collards. The garlic scapes are popping and we love throwing them straight onto the grill with a little sea salt and oil. They kind of taste like garlic fries that way! Radishes are my favorite served sliced up with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of sea salt. And the romaine lettuce makes for a killer Caesar salad and the head lettuce makes for a wonderful everyday kind of salad. Anyhow, I hope the recipes below give you a little inspiration of your feeling overwhelmed with all the greens!

Happy cooking and eating everyone!
