April 27 & April 29
CSA Member Special this week:
$10/ bag for the Black Earth Compost - I speak from experience, this is the best compost! I make my own with my food scraps, etc. but this comes to you exactly as the blogs describe without the months long wait. Perfect for your planting beds!
$5 bag for 2lbs bag of Carrots - crunchy and delicious! Great to roast or slice in a salad or even to juice!
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:
1 Bunch of WBF Radishes! Spring is here when our radishes hit the stand! If you are a bread share member, eat them like the French do. Slice your Ficelle, cover with some excellent butter and top with thinly sliced, salted radishes.
1 Bunch of Bok Choy. WBF GROWN! If you are trying something different this week, add it to your ramen bowl recipe.
1 Bag of WBF Spinach. Delicious! Is your body craving greens like mine is? I can't really get enough spinach this time of year. But if you are looking for a cosy NE recipe, try Yankee Magazine's Spinach Quiche recipe. It's a great easy quiche recipe that is infinitely customizable.
3 lbs Mixed Potatoes Grown by Sparrow Arc Farm, VT
1 lb Mixed Onions grown by Brookford Farm, NH.
1 lb Red Beets grown by Brookford Farm, NH. There's a lot of chatter about Borsch these days for obvious reasons. Is it Ukrainian, is it Russian? I found this great article from BBC Travel "Who Really Owns Borsch?" Descending from Eastern Europeans myself, the origin of our family's food and recipes is murky. My "Slovak" heritage has been Russian, then Czechoslovakian, currently Slovak but leaning toward Hungarian. Clearly our great-grandparents' confusing paperwork is not to be trusted. (My great-grandmother had a few different birth years depending on where you looked!) But with all of our differing "origins" the food never changed. Is food just food, is it culture, both? I say make the Borsch! Explore the food, honor the culture - Jen G

Plant Sale!!
Online Plant Sale will be for all the frost-sensitive crops - the pickup date will be Saturday May 21st. Customers will be assigned a 15-minute pick-up window according to their order number to try to spread us all out and keep it orderly. Keep checking the farmstand for all the cold-hardy crops ready earlier (now), for sale a-la-carte. Available now or soon: broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beets, cilantro, dill, borage, calendula, alyssum, bachelor's buttons, spinach, lettuce mix, kale mix, Swiss chard, snapdragons and more hardy flowers coming as soon as we can get them tagged and sent across the street!
Frost-sensitive crops include: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil, zinnias, sunflowers, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, and more. Perennial herbs in 4" pots are likely to be unleashed at that time, too, but not because of their frost sensitivity just cause we couldn't get the plugs earlier.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the plant sale going up for your plant browsing, garden planning, online shopping pleasure!
Shares will not be boxed. Please bring bags and boxes.
