Tomatoes are Back in Season!
We are incredibly excited to share that both cherry and slicing tomatoes are back in season at the Farm Stand! Since we’re still harvesting Romaine lettuce and salad mix, we can’t wait to start adding a handful of sweet cherry tomatoes to our salads. As for the larger varieties, we love adding thick slices to burgers, sandwiches, and wraps but they’re also great in salsa. Tomatoes store best outside of the chill of the fridge so you can find them on the shelves to the left of the Grab-and-Go coolers underneath the burlap.
Just in time for Mother’s Day we have small bouquets and sunflowers by the stem at the Farm Stand! These are the first flowers from our flower patch so Farmer Anne is especially excited. Since we are just beginning to harvest from the flower patch, the availability of bouquets will be limited this weekend. If you want to snag one, we highly recommend stopping by the Grab-and-Go coolers sooner rather than later! As we move further into the season and are able to harvest a larger variety of flowers, our bouquets will be larger in size.
The long beans that we sowed in the field last week are looking great! We have two varieties growing: Green Python and Red Noodle. Sometimes referred to as snake or asparagus beans, long beans have a similar texture and taste to traditional green beans but are typically 10-12 inches long. Unlike green beans, they have a vining growth habit rather than a bushy one so we’ll be installing a trellis for them to climb very soon.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Cherry Tomatoes, Slicing Tomatoes, Pickling Cucumbers, Zucchini, Eggplant, Jalapenos, Red and Golden Beets, Carrots, Fennel, Scallions, Salad Mix, Romaine, Kale, and Sunflowers
