Hello CSA Members!

There’s snow on the ground and it’s chilly outside, but we still have a lot left to bring you at CSA pick-up. Winter is a good time to reflect on the past season, think about what we can improve, and look forward to the next farming season.

Butternut squash is back this week! It’s one of my favorite winter squashes. I love just about any squash or root veggie roasted, but especially butternut, on it’s own or thrown into a salad or pasta dish.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 11:

1 – Leeks or Winter Radishes
2 – Hakurei Turnips or Purple Top Turnips or Carrots
3 – Beets or Potatoes
4 – Rutabaga or Kohlrabi
5 – Cabbage
6 – Lettuce
7 – Butternut Squash or Celeriac

 

Hello CSA Members!

It’s a lot more quiet on the farm now that we have made it past the holidays and into January. We have four weeks left of Winter CSA- 2 pick-ups left for both Biweekly A and Biweekly B members, with this coming week being an A week.

Cabbage is back this week! You can never go wrong with a slaw, soup, or sauerkraut. My personal favorite is sauteed cabbage with salt and pepper. So simple and delicious.

1 – Leeks or Winter Radishes
2 -Potatoes or Celeriac or Carrots

Hello CSA Members!

At this point in the Winter CSA, I’ve accumulated a few different root veggies in my fridge, and I’m sure you have to. I’m thinking I’ll make a soup or just a big mixed root veggie roast this weekend. Someone told me yesterday at pick-up that they had made a mash of a few different root veggies that we’ve had at CSA- rutabaga, celeriac, and sunchokes. Keep sharing recipes! It makes my day to hear how you’ve enjoyed your veggies.

Just a reminder, we will not have CSA pick-up the week of the 23rd due to the holidays. See you next week or in a few weeks. Happy holidays!

Hello CSA Members!

We are already halfway through our Winter CSA. Can you believe it? It’s going by so fast. I hope you’ve enjoyed these delicious veggies.

We will have winter radishes again this week! You can do so much with them- cut or shave them thin to put in a salad or tacos, pickle them, or even roast them how you would roast turnips. So much potential. And the color will make any dish pop.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 7:

1 – Leeks or Onions or Shallots
2 -Radishes or Chile de Arbol or Parsley
3 – Turnips or Carrots
4 – Potatoes or Rutabaga or Celeriac

Hello CSA Members!

We had CSA pick-up just in time before the snow hit this week. It couldn’t have been better timing. Part of the reason why I love Winter CSA is the beautiful greens we have throughout. They are such a treat. When I’m lacking inspiration for cooking with them, I try to change it up or go back to old recipes I’ve loved that I haven’t made in awhile.

One of those recipes is a lemony pasta with chard and parmesan. It’s a delicious, simple weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.

We’re grateful for all of your support. Happy Thanksgiving! See you next week.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 6:

1 – Leeks or Onions or Shallots

4 – Bok Choy or Cabbage
5 – Salad Greens

Hello CSA Members!

Many of you have been asking what to do with rutabaga. It is great roasted, added to mashed potatoes, or in soup. I always love to roast a bunch of root veggies and add them to a salad with some goat cheese, nuts, and a simple dressing.

Just a reminder again- this week’s pick-up will be on Tuesday since Thanksgiving is on Thursday! See you at pick-up.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 5:

Hello CSA Members!

One of the best parts of CSA is seeing how excited people get about fresh veggies. It reminds us why we do what we do everyday. I’m grateful for the community of Red Wagon and all the returning and new faces I’ve seen these past couple weeks.
