October 26 & 28

Something great available in this week's share: Pea Tendrils! Grown organically at White Barn Farm. Pea Tendrils are a nutritionally dense food, packed with many of the same vitamins and minerals as other green leafy vegetables. They are a good source of Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Folate and Fiber. Not sure what to do with them? Use them like you would any sprout, as a garnish, in salads, etc. They are great sautéed: Easy Garlicky Pea Tendrils. Or try my trick - I use them in my smoothies! They are great thrown in raw but they also freeze perfectly!

CSA Member Special this week:

$2 Herb bunch - Cilantro, Dill or Parsley grown right here at WBF!

Pick up is Wednesday or Friday, 12 - 6

Detailed pick up instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

In this Week's Share:

2lbs of Organic Sweet Potatoes from Riverland Farm
