Late Winter on the Farm
The sun is plentiful and the temperatures are pleasant making it the perfect time to catch up on some transplanting this week. This will be our last round of winter crops for the season before we shift gears for spring. Among the varieties planted thus far are Romaine lettuce, kohlrabi, dill, and cilantro. We also seeded a colorful mix of orange, yellow, and purple carrots along with some beets.
New to the lineup this week are sugar snap peas. Their crunch and sweetness has been a delicious and welcome contrast to our winter vegetables. We have a mix of purple and green snap peas that are perfect for snacking, adding to salads, and a quick stir-fry. Or, you could try them in this pasta dish alongside lemon and ricotta. Make sure to stop by the farm stand to get your own first taste of spring!
We have several crops on the harvesting horizon that we’re super excited to share with you. Here’s what you can expect over the next few weeks as we transition from winter to spring: radishes, arugula, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, spring onions, and cone cabbage. Check out the baby radish just beginning to peek out of the soil in the photo above!
Did you know that you can use our self-serve farm stand option anytime you have a hankering for some of our produce? While we love being able to see everyone in person at our farm stand on Saturdays from 10am-noon, we also want to make it as convenient as possible for you to shop. That’s where our self-serve option comes in! There are detailed instructions above the I-pad so that the process is quick and simple.
In Season: Sprouting Broccoli, Kale, Cabbage, Spinach, Beets, Snap Peas, Rainbow Chard, Collard Greens, and Little Gem Lettuce
