Mesclun/Spring Mix! - 1/2 lb bag
$5.15
High quality salad mix! This week: a mix of red oakleaf lettuce, green romaine, light green oakleaf, a frilly summer crisp, green deer tongue and more.
Kale, Curly - bunch!
$3.09
I love curly kale!
I especially love it after a weekend where I made a big batch of kale chips and watched Nico eat them with gusto for snacks.
My kale chip recipe usually goes like this:
-Get 3 bunches of curly kale and rip the leaves off the stems into 2-3" pieces. Drizzle olive oil on top of the kale pieces in a bowl and massage the oil into the kale. Sprinkle salt to your liking on top of the kale. Add nutritional yeast if you like. Spread out on a cookie sheet and low and low bake in the oven at about 250 degrees, checking for crispness and doneness after 30 - 45 minutes...stir around and continue low and slow baking until all are crisp and dry and snackable.
This weekend I did this:
-Get 3 (plus!) bunches of kale and rip into pieces.
-Blend a mix of olive oil, tahini, yogurt, salt, nutritional yeast, a couple garlic scapes. In pepper season, I would add sweet peppers to this. If I wanted spicy kale chips, I would add spicy peppers to this mix. Massage this sauce into the kale and spread out on a baking sheet, and do as above.
In order to lure my little one into really enjoying his kale, I sautee it with carmelized onions and make sure there's a good amount of butter (or coconut oil), a generous dash of soy sauce, and a quick drizzle of maple syrup. Seems to work. The adults are eating way more greens too.
Lovage
$2.68
One of the underappreciated herbs. I adore lovage, having fallen deeply in love in the summer of 2009 at a farm in Northern PA. A very happy lovage plant grew near the front door of the farmhouse where I lived and I learned to chop it up finely and sprinkle it on my daily morning eggs, or into my omelet. Yes, 100% yes!
It's celery-like...but that doesn't really describe it fully. Why not get a bunch a find out?
Garlic Scapes - one bunch
$3.09
Beautiful fresh garlic scapes! A tender bunch of fresh garlic flavor. This is the flowering top of the garlic plant, picked when it is still tender and easy to chop up for sautees or mix into a pesto! I have found they keep for a good long time in the fridge -- even up to a month. Or you can buy several bunches and pickle them.
Beets, Gold, Chiogga, Red: one bunch!
$3.09
Cook the greens as well as the roots. I made a meatloaf and chopped up some whole beets, roots to green tips, to sautee and add into the mix.
Gold and chioggia beets are a bit milder than red beets, having all of the sweetness and less of the "wow this also tastes like dirt!" quality. That quality is actually an identified compound, and it turns some people off of beets. I like all the colors...but if you are a beet skeptic, try a mixed color bunch.
Carrots, one bunch
$3.09
Beautiful young spring carrots with greens. Our favorite spring variety called Mokum is sweet, crisp and great for snacking.
Red Beets, 5 lb
$12.89
Red beet roots of medium size for pickling or a big roasting tray. (Note: the accompanying photo comes from last season's giant mid-summer beet harvest and does not correlate to the medium beet size you will receive!!!)
Dill - one bunch
$2.79
Ferny, cooling, refreshing...perfect for a sauce with yogurt, to mince and mix with salad, to use in pickling.
Purple Snow Peas - One Quart
$4.19
These snow peas are deep purple and, unlike many purple veggies, they do not lose their purple color when cooked.
For a recent dinner we sauteed them with chopped beets, garlic scapes, and broccolini and it was a delicious mix.
Dinosaur Kale, one bunch
$3.09
AKA Lacinato Kale. This Dinosaur Kale is the one typically preferred by chefs. Go fancy!
Red Russian Kale, one bunch
$3.09
The most tender of them all, truly. Red Russian Kale is actually purple stemmed and veined and this particular variety has lots of extra frills that remind me of some kind of coral reef being. So mild and tasty.
Classes
Garden Tour - June 26
$5.00 - $25.00
A 2-hour tour of Broad Wing Farm and our very intensive veggie garden on Saturday June 26 from 9 - 11 AM. We've been growing here for nearly 8 years and have changed our practices dramatically in that time. I'll walk you through all of our crops and share what we've learned to grow a much more productive and lovely garden, including tarping, composting, fertilizing, irrigating, flipping beds and learning from gardening failures. And, I'll also give a lot of details about the unusual plants we're growing this season, including the many herbs in our Upick Garden and how to harvest and use them in your kitchen and life.
Pay what works for you! If there's some other amount that makes more sense for you, or you'd like to pay in cash please send an email to me at broadwingfarm@riseup.net.
