What's In The Boston Box?

share distribution #16

Every other week/senior shares pick up on odd distribution weeks

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

Lettuce: Magenta lettuce this week. The rain splashed up quite a bit of soil on the leaves this week so give it several good rinses.

Cauliflower: We are trialing a new quicker to ripen cauliflower variety and so far it looks like a win! Nice slightly less domed heads then what you might see in the grocery store. You might see a caterpillar or two in the heads. If that grosses you out, try soaking the heads in salt water before preparing to get them out of the heads.

Braising Mix: A mix of kale, tot soi, mizuna and mustard. Great for light cooking, salads, and soups.

Red potatoes: Great for all the ways you potato. You might see some subterranean pest munching on these (its patchy in the field) just cut the spots out. Store potatoes out of the light, we usually just put ours in the fridge.

Frying peppers: A mix of Italia red peppers and cubanelle peppers. Great for frying up with some onions and sausage for a tasty sandwich.Or just munching raw or in salads.

Grape tomatoes: Great for snacking, salads or cooking. Store on your counter.

Scallions: Tasty chopped fresh onto dishes for a garnish or for cooking.

Cucumbers: I can’t believe the cucumbers are going gangbusters. I have never seen such productive late cukes but I will take it!

Swiss Chard: A cooking green related to spinach with somewhat of a familiar flavor. Great sauteed or cooked up i your favorite dishes.

Dill: Classically paired with fish and eggs but also tasty in greek cooking. Hang to dry if you want to use it into the winter.
