No, those white tubers aren't a rare strain of broccoli

They are, in fact, an unfairly overlooked root crop. Thanks to our surprisingly rainy September, the broccoli that we were hoping to provide for you all has not yet fully matured. So instead, we've provided you with these tubers which are called sunchokes or jerusalem artichokes. Sunchokes are not actually an artichoke, they are actually a type of sunflower that is cultivated for these tubers. While they have a delicious nutty flavor, these tubers haven not enjoyed the success of the potato, or even the notoriety of the rutabaga. One of the factors holding back the sunchoke is its propensity to produce potent flatulence if it is undercooked. We recommend using the sunchoke in a soup, and baking it in the oven first. We recommend using onion, leek, garlic, potato, herbs, spices, white wine, cream or sour cream, and mushrooms, in a stock, and in a combination and concentration that suits the taste of you and your family.

Produce for October 17

Hi everyone! Hope you're out enjoying these beautiful fall days. We're happy to have a little reprieve from the rain and get some of these waning rays of sunshine on our plants. This week we've got broccoli, carrots, spinach, chard, leeks, and hubba hubba squash. We'll see y'all Thursday!

Produce for October 10

Hi all!
For this Thursday, we have head lettuce, scallions (green onions), kale, beets, rutabaga, and delicata. We've been getting asked how long this will go until, and from the looks of the field we've still got some good shares in the future. We are planning on going through Halloween, which is a Thursday. We've still got broccoli, cauliflower, and turnips which haven't yet matured, so y'all have that to look forward to in the coming weeks!

Produce for October 3

Sorry we've been away from our computers,  but we're still doing produce for all y'all tomorrow. In your bag: salad mix, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, maris piper potatoes, grey ghost winter squash, and swiss chard.

Produce for 9/26

This week we have head lettuce, carrots, kale, our last hurrah of sugar snap peas, scallions, and hubba hubba winter squash. The hubba hubba is an orange hubbard squash that needs to be baked whole before it can be cut into pieces. You can use it to make a squash soup (which is the best!) or as a pumpkin substitute in a bread, pie or cookie, or you can cut it up and eat it like the delicata squash.

Black Coco Beans

Hi Guys! Produce for this week is delicata squash, tomatoes, beets, collards, black coco shelling beans, and fennel. We're excited to have some fall veggies! For those of you who have not encountered delicata, they are a winter squash which means they have rich orange flavorful flesh and need to be cooked for a while in the oven before they are ready. They can be cooked whole or chopped into chunks. The other new item this week is black coco shelling beans. These are a type of black bean, and they will come to you in the pod still so you will need to shell them before cooking the beans. The beans need to be soaked and boiled for a while before they will be ready to eat, but they are quicker to cook than the dried beans you get in the grocery store because they are fresher. Once shelled, they can be stored for weeks or even longer, so long as they are not moist. Use them like you would a black bean. As usual, sign up before Thursday to reserve you share. Can't wait to see y'all!
