Ari and I made a trip to the grocery store after the pickup (our fridge was bare to make room for the harvest!) and scanned the contents of the produce department. I guess I'm spoiled by what we grow and eat here at Little Wing Gardens; I could not believe the state of the veggies that had clearly been trucked from far away and sitting on a shelf for who-knows-how-long. So while your greens may have some tiny holes where some bugs took a bite (who can blame them?), you can be assured that you are eating the freshest, pesticide-free produce you can get your hands on!
Week Two brought a variation on what we harvested at the start of the season. Each member received:
1 head Black Seeded Simpson lettuce
1 head Red Romaine (with one lucky person receiving a Butterhead)
1 bunch arugula
1 bunch early carrots
1 bunch radishes with 1 turnip (saute those greens!)
1 pound sugar snap peas
2 garlic scapes
1 herb bunch (rosemary, dill, cilantro)
Also, we've modified our egg share prices to $75 for the season, with half shares available. A couple are spoken for with a few still available. We are proud to be able to offer a pastured lifestyle to our chickens. They roam our property all day long, eating bugs, grass, and fruit and veggie scraps from our kitchen and garden. At night, they enjoy the safety of a clean, dry coop, stocked with food and water and out of reach of the local foxes.
We are looking for feedback, so let us know what grabs your tastebuds and what doesn't and we will modify away! Enjoy the veggies this week!
