Enjoy a Fall morning at Sunset Farm while learning a little bit about how we grow vegetables and fruit year-round using sustainable and organic farming practices! From experienced backyard gardeners to those just wanting to get some fresh air - all will leave with a deeper understanding of small-scale food production and an unforgettable taste of fresh fall veggies! This week we are harvesting an Asian baby greens mix with varietals that are similar in taste to spinach and leaf lettuce. This mix is unique in that it is great eaten raw in a salad and can also be cooked down to add into soups, veggie lasagna, frittata, and more!

A new root vegetable was just added to the Grab-N-Go cooler this week - Beets! This classic red variety boasts a beautiful color that will brighten up any meal. Farmer Josie enjoys either roasting or boiling these, and then pairing them with baby greens in a salad. If you haven't explored cooking with beet greens and stems yet, they are quite versatile in the kitchen for a zero-waste veggie! We highly recommend chopping the stems and greens for a quick saute and adding to your scrambled eggs for a boost of nutrients in the morning!

Our first round of carrots just germinated in the high tunnel, and we are eagerly awaiting harvest day just as much as you are anticipating them on your kitchen table! If you're already planning a menu for the upcoming holidays, be sure to keep Sunset Farm in mind for your fresh produce needs! We will have baby greens, cooking greens like kale and chard, root crops like radishes, salad turnips, and beets, as well as beautiful flowers for hosting loved ones in your home. Drop by the Grab-n-Go cooler at your convenience to see what Sunset Farm goodies you can incorporate into your holiday meals!
