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
5 – Beets or Acorn Squash
6 – Salad greens
7 – Cooking greens

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

3 – Turnips or Carrots or Beets
4 – Bok Choy or Cabbage
5 – Salad Greens
6 – Chard or Collards or Kale
7 – Honeynut Squash or Potatoes

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.

Bok Choy is back again this week- I love it chopped up in a salad with a sesame ginger dressing or thrown in a stir fry.
