DiStribution WEek #5

Every other week shares/Senior and Full shares pick up on odd weeks.

this is the box that will be available
at our Boston Distributions on Thursday

Lacinato kale: A flat leaf kale variety. Great cooked or chopped into salads.

Lettuce: This week’s lettuce is green leaf and red leaf. These are the last of our spring varieties.

Pointy green cabbage: This green cabbage is not only whimsical but excels for fresh eating. Chop up for a great slaw.

Bok choi: The last bok choi planting of the year. These are beautiful early summer bok chois. Enjoy them stir fried with you garlic scapes.

Kohlrabi: The last of the kohlrabi until late fall. Great cooked or raw.

Garlic scapes: Lots of lasts this week and this is probably the last time you will see garlic scapes in your boxes this year. They have a mild garlicky flavor. Chop them up and use them as you would garlic.

Beets: The first beets of the season! OUr spring planted beets always come with beautiful tops. Don’t toss them, cook them right up with the beets. They are tasty and very nutritious.

Cucumbers: This week you will get both pickling cukes and slicing cukes. They are both great for fresh eating. Sometimes you ay find the skins are bitter near the stem so peel the skins away there.

Zucchini: The main staples of the summer! These are the back bone of almost every meal we make in the summer since they are so versatile. Our goal is to make everyone sick of them by the end of the summer so you wont miss them when they are gone but by next spring you’ll be dying for them to come back into season.
