Week 3

 We said goodbye to Britt, one of our favorite employees last week.  She is the type of person that just made the farm a better place to work for the crew and for Kel and I.  All spring we have been joking about having Nutria Fest(we have them in our creek).  I genuinely want to eat one at least once, but all the other ideas like everyone wearing a giant rat tail were all just us being silly and passing time while doing tedious work.  Britt took it upon herself to create a poster on her phone.  She found a Nutria photo online and added a bright pink Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts.  On her last day she secretly hung a four foot by six foot poster version up in our barn.  How can you not miss someone like that.  It also left us desperate for help.  Her leaving the farm at about 25 percent of the labor it needs to run smoothly.  We skipped the Chehalis market for two weeks just to make sure we didn't let our future plantings get overrun with weeds.  We ended up hiring three more people in the last six days.  I always think things will work out on the farm because they always have, but I was starting to freak out a bit.  I feel very relieved right now.

You may not have any invasive species on your menu this week, but hopefully you eat some nice meals.

Lettuce

Carrots

Snap Peas - This is the latest snap peas have ever been.  Wednesday will be our first picking.  The quantity might be limited but there will be more next week.

Zucchini

Cabbage

Arugula or Mizuna

Broccoli - Large Only

Week 2

 Carrots

Salad Turnips - You can eat these like radishes, but they have less of a bite.  They are also good cooked. 

Kale

Lettuce

Garlic Scapes - Scapes shoot out of the center of hardneck garlic.  They make a delicious addition to any meal chopped like garlic gloves, albeit a bit milder  For the garlic lover, rub with oil salt and toss on the grill for a mild creamy garlic delight.  

Kohlrabi 

Spinach - Large Only

Salad - Large Only

Week 1

Greens!

Red Leaf Lettuce

Salad Mix

Collards

Green Garlic - You can use the whole thing, top to bottom.  I whizzed the greens and some olive oil together and put it on pizza - delicious.  It is a bit milder than cured garlic but still zingy if used raw.

Radishes

Red Russian Kale - Large Only

Herb - Large Only

We are short on crew and the weather has been a little nutty, but the veggies are doing well.  Pulled a few carrots for the weekend market and they are coming along.  We will include them and lacinato kale in next week's box.  

My goal is to get this posted on Sunday.  I am currently doing the market both Saturday and Sunday so it will most likely be posted late Sunday or first thing Monday.  

We hope you enjoy your first week of veggies.  Thank you.
