Live Well Health and Fitness Expo this Saturday!
Don’t forget to join us this Saturday, November 4th from 9am-12pm for the Live Well Health and Fitness Expo! This event takes place on the farm and is hosted in partnership with the Jordan Ranch Lifestyle Team. We’ll be joined by local vendors and food trucks and there will be live music and activities for all ages to enjoy. In addition to the beautiful produce at our Farm Stand, we’ll be offering special veggie kits and recipes to inspire you in the kitchen. This event is free of charge and open to the public so we hope to see you there!
Remember the Desperado green beans we planted back in September? We’re just beginning to harvest from our plants which means you can pop by the Farm Stand for some delicious green beans! These beans have a mildly sweet flavor and great texture. Though they can technically be eaten raw, we recommend cooking them first. Farmer Anna loves to stir-fry them with honey, garlic, chili oil, and soy sauce for a super simple and delicious side dish. Make sure to enjoy them while they’re in season!
In addition to green beans, curly kale and mustard greens also made their way back into season this week. Even though both of these leafy greens are members of the Brassica family, they have distinctly different flavors. Kale has an earthy and vegetal taste while mustard greens are sharp and peppery. Both are great for adding to soups and stews but they can also stand alone in a side dish when sauteed or braised. You can find both of these leafy greens at the Farm Stand.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Green Beans, Dill, Kale, Mustard Greens, Arugula, Swiss Chard, Bok Choy, Radish, and Eggplant.
Coming Soon: Hakurei Turnips and Napa Cabbage
