I hope you all enjoyed the week one bounty. I know some of the greens were pretty dirty due to the heavy rains. If nothing else, you had a crash course on washing fresh produce from the fields. Things should be quite a bit better this week. Even though we received the deluge yesterday evening, I outsmarted mother nature and ran out to harvest the salad mix before it poured. So that should be better this week. You will still have to wash everything and should every week. Some of the other items that were harvested this morning will show signs of the heavy rain last night with some splash back. The cabbages are beautiful. The cauliflower is very nice as well. If you notice a little purple cast to some areas of your cauliflower, it's only from the sun that broke through the tightly wrapped leaves around the heads. It's fine and tastes surprisingly like cauliflower.
This week in your share:
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Garlic Scapes
Mild Salad Mix
Mustard Greens (a little fiery)
Spinach
Kale
Daikon Radishes
Spring Onions
Head Lettuce
Collards
The garlic scape is a shoot the garlic plant springs forth this time each year. It can be used like a green onion only it has a mild garlic taste. Also Chef Colleen will include a couple of recipes this week that include the garlic scapes and cauliflower. We may include a recipe for the Daikons as well.
See you tomorrow 10a-8p
Steve and Rousedale Crew
