Spinach, Hakurei Turnips, Bok Choi, Chives, Cucumber, Rhubarb, Green Oakleaf Lettuce Head

They will be at your pick up location on whichever day you have chosen. Thanks for being flexible on us if we didn’t have your name down on your day. We should have that all set for the upcoming weeks. As a reminder, your chosen day will always be the same.

On the farm, we have been busy harvesting and planting our winter squash. The rain this week gives us time to finish projects around the farm like oil changes, tomato trellising and cleaning. We have been clearing old conifer trees behind the main barn at RCF in order to start the new animal barn project. Cannot wait for that to happen! In our big greenhouse we have been raising chickens since March!

Two recipes for you this week, sweet and savory rhubarb! Sweet rhubarb is always my go to, along with strawberries, in pies, jams and crips. A coworker mentioned that Blackbird Kitchen does a delicious galette (we sold them 5 pounds on Friday!) But here’s a simple recipe that might be a close second that you can try at home: https://alexandracooks.com/2018/05/25/rhubarb-galette/ For the savory recipe, it pairs nicely with chicken as a marinade: https://www.cottercrunch.com/crispy-rhubarb-lemon-chicken-bake/ If you have any other yummy recipes that is your go to, please share with us!

Thank you for reading and enjoy!
