It is a SNOWY spring week here at the farm! Despite the snow, we are still actively working to prepare and get things rolling for the summer season! We were able to get columbine, lavender, and peonies transplanted into the ground yesterday before the snow hit, and it is exciting to think about things starting to grow in the fields. Seeding and planting is still in full swing in the greenhouses, and new sprouts and shoots are popping up every day! We are thinking sunny spring thoughts and are feeling grateful for the moisture on the ground despite the snowy weather. :)

In your CSA boxes this week, you will find a variety of greens and herbs, as well as some delicious carrots! One of these herbs is called “lovage”. The leaves of a lovage plant resemble the leaves of a parsley or celery plant and carry the tastes of these two plants, as well as a hint of anise. Lovage is a versatile herb that can be used in seasonings for meet or poultry, as well as in soups and salads! See some recipes that incorporate lovage below and let us know what you think!
