We hope you all enjoyed your first box.
We have been doing salad Fridays on the farm. I started making a salad on Fridays in the spring when we had early greens. Those first March greens are one of my favorite memories from the first year I started working on a farm. I let it fall by the wayside after a few salads, but a couple people on the crew were game to keep it going. Last week Clare made a coleslaw and it reminded me how good simple things can be. All it had was cabbage, carrots and a mayo based dressing and it was delicious. The cabbage really is at its prime right now. Fall cabbage is great, but spring cabbage is so tender and juicy.

I am sure you all eat well year round, but hopefully you are about to feel like you are eating even better! I am pretty stoked with the first box.
We have a great core crew, but things were starting to get a little wild looking around here as we struggled to balance harvest with weeding. We have three new people starting this week and I think we should be able to get everything into shape.
If any of the produce you get is bad/damaged, I encourage you to reach out and let me know. We try very hard to keep our quality high, but things slip by us on occasion.
Feel free to send me recipes you made. I really enjoy hearing about the food you make with your produce.
Thank you for supporting local agriculture.

Frisee - Large Only Maybe it is a good week for a salade Lyonnaise. There aren't too many salads that I feel like satisfy me enough to call a meal but this one does. This is the first time we have grown frisee in the spring. The one we ate was less bitter than I typically think of it being.
