Real Farm Dogs Eat their Broccoli
Yes, it's true... So you should eat yours too ; )
Kohlrabi
Extremely nutritious, kohlrabi is new to many folks - but so worth getting to know. Peel the bulbs to remove the coarse skin, dice and roast or put in soups. I also like it raw, thinly sliced in salads - like a really firm turnip. Don't forget to use the greens...
Escarole
A slightly more unusual vegetable that you'll only get a couple times this year. Escarole is a type of endive. It's related to dandelion greens, and radicchio. It's a mildy bitter green (that bitter is what alot of people are after). I didn't used to like it, but now,...
Radicchio
Radicchio is the darling of high end restaurants and haute cuisine. It is a slightly bitter green closely related to escarole. It is often braised, sometimes grilled, or used as a platform for hors d'oeuvres, as well as added to salads. Here's a cooked recipe with...

Carrots
Whole for a snack, julienned in a salad or coleslaw, roasted in chunks with other root veggies, glazed, in stir fries, and a member of mirepoix (carrots, onions and celery used as a base for just about any soup or stock). Don't get caught in a rut with your carrots! 🙂

Tokyo Turnips
Also known as Hakurai Turnips or Japanese Salad Turnips, these are very versatile. They're great raw as a snack or on salads, steamed, roasted or in a stir fry. Tokyo turnips are surprisingly sweet and juicy when cooked. The greens are great for sautéing also. If you...

Yellow Onions
Onions are left in the ground to cure, waiting for the leaves to die back and dry out before we harvest them. And once we do harvest and clean them, we've got tons...

Baby Kale
Great in salads of any kind, baby kale doesn't need the same massaging or wilting as grown-up kale. Also delicious quickly sautéed in butter or oil with a squeeze of lemon before serving, very similar in this preparation to spinach.

We grow 6+ varieties of baby head lettuces. They are tender, crisp and beautiful, if we do say so ourselves. Above is a box of little gem hearts. Varieties you'll find at the market or in your CSA include red and green oakleaf, butterhead, little gem and romaine.
