Tewksbury Grace Farm

Dear Friends,

We are thankful for the rains today, and hope there is more to come! We are finishing transplanting the hot season vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, and peppers), in the fields. With this cool spring, we have luscious early summer greens to offer. In your bag this week, look for an array of colorful, vitamin-rich vegetables:

• Herbal salad mix – so fresh and fragrant!
• Radish/Hakurei sweet turnip bunch
• Garlic scapes – mince and sauté just like fresh garlic
• Joi choi (large, white-ribbed succulent Asian green), or Kale bouquet
• Asian stir-fry medley – a trio of Yokatta-na, Golden Chard, and Hon Tsa Tsai (this braising bunch has lovely sweet yellow flowers, which should be chopped, along with the entire bouquet of green stems. Toss chopped greens into a skillet or wok on high heat, with sesame oil, shoyu, pinch sugar and hot pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Sizzle greens enough to turn, then shut off heat. Greens should be barely wilted – delicious nutritious side to any meal).
• Blackberry jam
•  Red bok choy
•  Green bok choy

Reminder! When we provide dried goods, such as dried shiitake, tomatoes, and herbs, we always recommend that you transfer them to glass jars with seal-tight lids, to prevent pantry moths and moisture, and store them in a dark cupboard.

Peas are coming on strong…look for them soon!

Please remember to pick up your bags as soon as possible and get produce into the fridge immediately, to preserve freshness.

Peace,

Johnny and Leah
