Tewksbury Grace Farm

Hi Friends,

This is the second week of our CSA, so if you are a “B” week member… welcome!  The cool wet weather has been great to work in, and our salad mix, peas and other greens have flourished.  In this week’s bag you will find the following:

• Our Extraordinary Salad Mix (over 20 different types of greens and herbs)  - We like to tear up the larger pieces and then toss the mixture well with a vinagraitte dressing, walnuts, cranberries and goat cheese.
• Asparagus
• Joi Choi or Chard bunch – Rough chop succulent Joi Choi and flash sauté with sesame oil and seasoning. Serve with rice. Chard can be used like kale in many fresh or sautéed  dishes.
• Ruby Currant Jelly  -- similar to a sweet cranberry flavor.
• Kohlrabi – stunning purple cole vegetable. Best peeled and eaten raw…we think!
• Cilantro bunch – excellent in salsas and Thai dishes.
• Sugar snap peas – lovely purple and yellow snap peas. Look for the tender green variety next week for a gorgeous trio of colors and flavors.
• Fresh Rosemary sprig and Thyme bunch – some of our most favorite herbs. The thyme sprigs should be chopped finely, removing any larger stem pieces, and sprinkled as a savory flavor over roasted meats, pastas, scalloped potatoes. Rosemary is delicious seared on the grill with kebobs or cooked with French fries.
• Hakurei turnips – also known as a salad turnip – very mild and juicy and best eaten raw!

Enjoy!
