Winter Farmstand!

We are trying something new in hopes of forestalling anyone's produce deprivation…

A WINTER FARMSTAND!

Wednesdays from 9-5

Rain or Shine, in the Shed!

The farmstand starts TODAY, 11/28, and will continue each Wednesday through 12/19 (no farmstand on 12/26).
January dates still TBD, depending on our stocks of produce, the weather, etc.
The farmstand is SELF-SERVE and HONOR SYSTEM! Please honor the honor system for it to work! There is a payment box on the wall in the shed.
We can accept cash and checks. Bring small bills because we won't be there to make change for you. Please make checks payable to "Valley Flora."
There is a surprisingingly wide array of produce still in the field, from roots to greens to Brussels sprouts and much more!

Monster Kohlrabi!

You remember kohlrabi from last spring? Well, this is the same beast, but a whole lot bigger. We grow a storage variety for the Fall/Winter, aptly named “Kossack.” We actually harvested these big boys from the field in late October and have been holding them in our cooler since then. They keep for months and months and the flavor is supposed to improve in storage.

You probably have your preferred preparation figured out by now, but remember that they are equally good raw or cooked (sautéed or steamed). You’ll want to peel the tough skin off with a knife and then savor the tender heart within.

This is a favorite recipe of mine:
