The rain seems to be keeping many of us inside and it is quiet on the farm. We've got a few little projects going on but most of the work is done for the year. When the plants stop growing there's not much outdoor work to do! Blake managed to get out to the Olympic peninsula for a camping retreat this weekend so I was on my own today for harvest.
Cauliflower - These cauliflower have come out looking and tasting gorgeous. We are so happy to have them! This is the last time you'll be getting them from us so enjoy.
Sunflowers - The sunflowers are smaller now but I feel like the colors are even better now than when they were first coming on--there is more gold in the brown ones and more purple in the beige ones.
Kale - Lacinato kale this week. Hardy kale great for braising or warm soups.
Onions
Salad Mix - The greens are doing really well, we feel lucky to be able to provide fresh, tender salad greens at this time. They are enjoying the warm weather and have handled the wetness well. This week's mix is mainly arugula, spinach, and lettuce mix.
Dill -Dill is a great addition to many dips and sauces. It adds a crucial flavor to pickled veggies and can also be used to flavor soups.
Acorn squash - It is Winter squash season and the flavor is just getting better. Acorn squash are really simple, just thrown them in the oven and add butter and brown sugar or honey.
Beets - We've got colorful mixed bunches this week. Dill is an excellent compliment to beets and can be added as a garnish to roasted beets or mixed into a beet salad.
