Tonight was the final pickup of the season and boy was it a good one. Farmer Fred teased us with greenhouse Spring veggies. I am definitely ready for some leafy greens. We got a bag of baby spinach, a couple small heads of lettuce and a bag of baby kale which I can not wait to use to make my famous massaged kale salad. In addition to 6 pounds of potatoes we got 5 heads of cabbage. Luckily, I had planned to make a big cole slaw this weekend.
This week’s share:
1 bunch Scallions
8 oz. bag Baby Kale
5 lbs. Mixed Beets
2 heads Red Cabbage
3 lbs. Fingerling Potatoes
2 stalks Brussels Sprouts
1 bunch Greenhouse Lettuce
5 lbs. Mixed Carrots
2 heads Savoy Cabbage
8 oz. Baby Spinach
1 head Napa Cabbage
3 lbs. Northern Red Potatoes
1 Korean Moo Radish
The Korean Moo is still a mystery to me.
On the way home we stopped at a little taco place, Gueros, for some delicious and inventive tacos, guacamole and margaritas. I’ve been wanting to try this place since it opened, it was well worth the wait! It is usually packed so when we saw an empty table, we jumped at the opportunity. So good, we’ll definitely be stopping in again!
I love the purple tinged spring onions (scallions) and multi-coloured carrots
It looks like a delicious lot of veggies!
Yes, I was very pleased with this share! The carrots are great, every shade of orange and yellow and even purple!
I love when brussels come on the stalks. I have never received them like that in my box but enjoy buying them at the farmers market like that
Come and link up to this week’s party when you get a chance. http://inherchucks.com/2013/03/13/whats-in-the-box-65/. Hope to see you there!
I love brussels sprouts! On or off the stalk!
