Spring Appetizer Week 3
Spring showers aren't dampening our spirits here at the farm. Although we have been excited about the warm weather speeding along the early summer crops, it has been a little strange to be hauling irrigation hoses in mid-May!
The first tender, sweet and crisp spring carrots are here. These slender carrots are exceptionally tasty. In addtion to the carrots, we will have more of those fresh spring greens. The warmth of last week should give us larger 'baby' heads of lettuce than what we were able to harvest last week. The spinach is looking really great this week so we are giving you a little extra. With an abundance of mangoes in the conventional stores right now, try one of our all time favorite spinach salads, Baby Spinach with Spiced Almonds. If you haven't used up all of last week's kale yet, try adding it to the spinach in Devra's Beans and Greens with Coconut Milk recipe. Devra is the owner of Patty Pan Grill, one of our newest CSA drop off locations.
Yummmmm!, Brett just came in and told me the sugar snaps are going to be ready really soon. They aren't quite sweet enough to end up in this week's box, but you will have them for sure next week!
