Community Farm

This is our 2nd week of produce from our share of the Winter Green Community Farm. This week we got Swiss Chard, Kale, parsley, carrots, radishes, lettuce and two boxes of strawberries. We still have some lettuce left from last week's box so we'll be busy with salads this week! We also have some interesting recipes planned for the week - Swiss Chard Egg Loaf, Carrot & Parsley Salad, Sauteed Beet and Potato Hash and (if we have some Swiss Chard left over) Chard with Sweet & Sour Ginger sauce. Last week we tried Creamy Choi Soup using the pac choi that was in the first week's box. Both B. & I really liked it though neither of us had ever had pac choi before.

Each week we get an email (mid-week) from the farm which tells us what to expect from this week's harvest, how to store it, tells about the people doing the harvest, and gives recipes. You can also find the information from previous weeks at their site http://www.wintergreenfarm.com/ (just click on the ONLINE BOX NOTES). I'm finding this helpful to get more recipes for some of the vegetables that I'm unfamiliar with.
