Half Share: Asian Greens, Kale, Microgreens, Chives

** Each CSA Member is getting their first flowers this week! Make sure to grab your mini bouquet from the front cooler (on Wednesday) or the back table in the cold room (any other day) :) Happy spring!

Happy sunny Wednesday! While we are very much enjoying the beautiful weather today, our freshly planted seedlings loved the rainy weather early in the week. We are being able to transplant loads of things into the field on both sides of the farm! We’ve got heartier flowers like lupine, calendula, and poppies in the ground, as well as early season veggies, such as parsley, kale, and kohlrabi. It’s exciting to start watching things grow and to start looking forward to the summer ahead! We were very excited to put together the first mini bouquets of the season this week with some of our early spring favorites. Be sure to grab yours when you come into the market stand this week to add some springtime color to your home!

In your CSA boxes this week you will find a bag of asian greens! Our asian greens are a mix of a variety of mustard greens. These greens get spicier as time goes on, so this week’s batch is our spiciest yet! Your boxes this week have some of the last greens from our early season greenhouses. You’ll slowly start to notice new, mid-spring veggies appearing in your shares every week as the season moves forward. Chard is included in your box this week from our new spring greenhouse, and your chives are the first herbs we’ve harvested from the field this year!
