Week 1

The farm is looking great from the road.  Way better than the weedy corn we had up front last year. That was kind of embarrassing, but August is tough sometimes.  Up close there are a few small problems, but all and all we are off to a good start.  We have a great crew and each day we cross a ton of tasks off our list.  Of course we are constantly adding more to the list, but we are doing a pretty good job of keeping plants healthy and keeping the weeds down. That is successful farming at its core.

We look forward to seeing all of you and we hope you are all looking forward to a season of good food!

Red Leaf Lettuce
Lacinato Kale
Scallions
Garlic Scapes
Green Cabbage
Radishes
Something Green - Large Only - I know, so vague!  

We love making pizza with the garlic scapes and kale.  It can go two ways.  Blend the scapes with nuts and oil and spread on the dough.  Top with mozzarella, dollops of ricotta and tons of chopped kale.  Or you can make the pesto with the kale and put chopped scapes on top of the pizza.  Scapes can also be grilled or roasted.  We use them in the place of garlic a lot this time of year because last year's garlic is long gone and it feels so wasteful to pull the green garlic before it is sized up.  Hope you enjoy them.
