Hello CSA Folks!
We’re hoping to help you identify your veggies early in the week this week.
You can expect to see:
Kale! Kale comes in a variety of leaf shapes and colors. You might receive Red Curly (not pictured), Green Curly, or Tuscan Kale this week.
Sugar Snap Peas have begun. These sweet treats are great raw or stir fried (if you don’t eat them all on your way home!) Pull the stem off, but eat the entire pod with the peas inside.
A handful of garlic scapes were included in a few of last week’s shares but this week a lot more of you will be seeing these delightfully curly crops. We love garlic scapes! They will be on a choice with herbs. We harvest any herbs that look good that morning which may include chives, garlic chives, oregano, mint, thyme, sage, lovage, edible flowers, tarragon, and eventually basil.
The last new crop for the week is head lettuce! Hopefully it’s a familiar crop to you, but maybe you haven’t seen it in a “head” or outside of plastic. This week we are cutting them out of the ground, rinsing them and delivering to you fresh as can be!
You should be familiar with arugula and turnips from last week or previous weeks.
As the week goes let us know if there’s still something you don’t recognize!

Here are some of the items you might have seen in your CSA share this week! I know our veteran CSA members are familiar with our veggies but some of the new folks might be scratching their heads when they get home. Here’s a short breakdown:
Turnips! The white ones are called Hakurei Turnips and the purple ones (not pictured) are Purple Top Turnips. Both can be eaten raw but the purple ones are better cooked
Some of you may have received garlic scapes while most received green garlic. This photo shows the scapes. They have similar tastes and you can find recipes on our website for both
Bok Choi, there are a few varieties that were harvested this week but they can all be eaten in similar ways. You may have received spinach instead.
Pea Shoots! These curly greens have a similar flavor to snap peas. They can be used as a salad green or in a number of recipes
Arugula. This plant has a wide range of leaf shapes and vein colors. It has a peppery taste. We work very hard to remove all the weeds during harvest, washing and packaging but sometimes they sneak by.
Instead of arugula you may have received a bag of mixed greens that we call Braising Mix or Spicy Salad Mix. This included a mix of tatsoi and mizuna all week with the addition of tender broccoli raab leaves early in the week and mustard greens later in the week.
Lastly, we had radishes! Two different types went out this week. French Breakfast and Easter Egg radishes. The French Breakfast radishes are red or purple and long and straight (mostly) while the Easter Egg radishes come in a variety of colors from white to dark purple and tend to be more round. They taste similar and can be used in similar ways.
Some of you may have received rhubarb, herbs or spinach as well.
Did you recognize all your veggies this week or did we introduce you to something new!? :D
