We had a big harvest for the weekend folks!
It’ll be our last Sunday farmers market where we’re bringing starter plants.
This is what we’ve got:
Napa cabbage (sui choy): super versatile cooked, raw or fermented; stir fried, salads, kimchi; Mary will have her delicious Chinese style cooked to sample at the market today!
Pak choy: another Asian green with a tiny bit of bitter, excellent with ginger, garlic, onions, salty soya and or fish sauce, and a bit of hot pepper or sauce!
Broccolini: another beautiful ingredient for stir fry, but try making a cheesy cream sauce pasta with it too!
Salad greens: we’ve been told that ours are the best!
Super greens and spinach bags and chard bunches. These are new spring growth rainbow chard, green & purple kale and spinach. This greens or the mix is in a meal nearly every day. Cook until just wilted in a hot pan with butter and garlic. It’s a side or can be the filling for an omelette.
Baby beets and greens: nothing healthier for you, and boiled new baby beets are so tender and sweet!
The first of our green onions have been harvested!
Asparagus is nearing the end of its run for the season. We use it in so many ways. But slightly charred on the bbq grill is divine!
Strawberries are just getting going. These are real organic field perfection.
At our farm stand only we have local eggs, GGs good greens and Legacy Mushrooms: all of which could be added to stir fries or sandwiches or breakfast. The oyster mixes are a stunning medley of colours!
As for starter plants this is ideal timing for planting the heat loving tomatoes, eggplants, squash. We still have lots of tomato varieties to chose from including cherry tomatoes, slicers and large beefsteak. We’ve just added several squash varieties since we planted the last ones out ourselves and know what we have leftover: honey boat and regular delicata, carnival acorn, spaghetti, red kuri, Waltham (classic late season) and Havana (smaller but earlier) butternut. We have some unique herbs and flowers too like snapdragons, chamomile, tulsi, to***co, catnip. And still a few golden heritage and Caroline everbearing raspberries available.
