Tewksbury Grace Farm

Hi Friends,

Things are looking great here on our farm!  You may hear us grumble occasionally (close friends hear it often) when we are lacking rain, but you will also hear us rejoice when we get adequate amounts of rainfall.  So, we are doing the happy dance here on the hill.  We’ve had enough rain, the crops look great and our cisterns are full.  If that wasn’t enough, I am out of school, so it was a low stress pack out week, as opposed to last week’s 1:30 a.m. Thursday night salad washing party we were having.  The weather has been fantastic for growing greens and the greens you are getting are super healthy, nutritious and taste great, so enjoy!  This week’s bag…

• Our best-in-the-Universe Salad Mix (even the flowers are edible!)
• Cilantro
• Kohlrabi (peel and eat raw, sliced in strips and dipped in a dressing or add to a salad.You can add the leaves to a salad.)
• Sugar snap peas and yellow snow peas (just a sampling as the plants are just starting to produce.)
• Green bok choy (best prepared by rough chopping the whole plant and fast sautéing with seasoning and oil until just tender)
• Spinach or kale bunch
• White salad turnips and red radish bunch (both best eaten raw)
• Red Japanese mustard spinach (best prepared by rough chopping the whole plant and fast sautéing with seasoning and oil until just tender)
• Garlic scapes (mince and fry like fresh garlic)

Peace,

Johnny
