CSA boxes

Well, it was a snowy weekend on the farm. Depending on how the weather holds, we may be knocking off the snow to get to our crops this week. Snowy and muddy fields means that we may be doing more harvesting by hand. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the salad, spinach and arugula is more likely to get bruised when it is hand cut and you may find more moisture in your bagged greens. Place a paper towel in the bottom of the bag to absorb excess moisture and to help the greens last longer. Snow collapsed some of our row covers so this is probably the last of the arugula. The spinach and lettuces are growing very slowly at these cold temperatures and low light, but we should have them for the duration of the CSA season.

We are pairing Joi choi (large bok choy variety) and daikon again in your boxes. The last time we did, I whipped up this tasty stir fry. Katie, one of our CSA customers will also be posting a daikon dinner pancake recipe later this week. As always, you can find over daikon recipes by using the search tool on the blog. Enjoy the last of the season's arugula with this quick and pretty pasta recipe. Although we don't grow them, I really enjoy the taste of pomegranates this time of year. You can enjoy them too in Pork with Pears in Pomegranate Sauce
