Farm News from Jane
Wow! What an adventurous beginning to the season. From snow and record low temperatures to seventies and even eighties. We are, as I mentioned walking in faith as we begin summer shares. The first few shares will contain some winter storage veggies which are still delicious. We had such a wonderful harvest last fall. The volume may be light in the first month until the vegetables we’ve planted over the last month catch up with the calendar. This nearly 90⁰ weather should bring them up to speed more quickly!  The rhubarb is growing nicely and should be ready for harvest next week.  There will be green garlic and then green onions (scallions) and lots more salad greens in the coming weeks. Our CSA begins earlier and continue a bit longer than most so you will surely get your “share of the harvest” over the twenty-four weeks!
We continue to seed in the green house; more lettuces, and beets and this week we begin seeding winter squash; six different varieties. Seeded directly out in the fields are peas; shelling and sugar snap and three different varieties of “snap” or “string” beans. I prefer calling them snap beans because it makes them sound so fresh as string beans makes them sound chewy! We grow five different varieties; green, yellow, purple, Romano, and Dragon Tongue, (a type of speckled flat bean). We also planted six different varieties of potatoes and onions, leeks, celery, celeriac, sweet corn, bok choy Chinese (Napa), cabbage, beets and Swiss chard. Tomorrow afternoon we hope to transplant more seedlings from the green house. They all grew so tall over the weekend. I jokingly shared with Ben that the sweet corn looked like it was ready to tassel! The seedlings always look so huge in the green house, but when they are planted, they seem to shrink in comparison to their surroundings.
So a new season has begun. For those of you who have been with us you’ll understand that things are a bit different without Daniel at the helm; but change creates new opportunities and that combined with the extra time we had waiting for the weather to turn we took full advantage; concrete walkways were poured, reorganization of set up for efficiency, and lots of equipment getting a “make over”. We are excited to start summer shares and expect another stellar season of delicious and nutritious produce. We are very grateful for your support and are anxious to meet with you all over the summer at one of our farm events. Keep yourself up to date by reading the weekly/biweekly newsletters. Many blessings on us all for health and contentment. A friend recently gave me a plaque which reads: “What we have is enough when we are grateful for what we have”. Let that be an encouragement for us all! Blessings, Jane

Produce:   Asparagus   Salad Greens   Spinach   Onions   Carrots   Cabbage  

Produce tips:
– A few kitchen helps: a vegetable brush, a kitchen scale, a good olive oil for saute, and a desire to “create”, using recipes to guide you not control you. Substitute what ingredients you have on hand in recipes that call for something not stocked in your pantry.
– Asparagus; everyone has their preferences. We prefer the “fatter” stalks as they are a little more resilient to over cooking! It doesn’t matter if they are thin or thick it is the weather and rate of growth that makes them tough; not the diameter! This should all be tender with the volume of rain and heat we’ve had. We just use a sharp knife to trim off the cut end. If it feels a bit hard then just cut off a bit more. DO NOT use the “bend and snap” method. Bending the stalk until it breaks and discard the bottom end. and snap it off discarding whatever remains. That wastes way too much! And please don’t overcook it. It can actually be eaten raw and tastes more like fresh shelling peas… This was Daniels’ favorite way to eat it; pick and eat!!! It cooks easily if pan sautéed with just a splash of oil and water enough to slightly simmer.
