Chioggia Beets, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA - Also known as candy-striped beets, this heirloom variety is slightly milder and sweeter than red beets. Perfect for roasting, pickling, or grating raw into salads. Bonus: the beet greens are also edible and packed with nutrients!

Lacinato Kale Raab, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA - Raab is the flower shoot that forms on overwintered brassicas — kale, broccoli, arugula, etc. It is a vegetable ephemeral, similar to daffodils or crocuses. This beauty is great when cooked: in soups, stir-frys, pasta, risotto, or pizza. I love it sauteed with a splash of lemon juice!

Red & Yellow Mixed Potatoes, First Cut Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - Waxy, creamy, crunchy; these potatoes are perfect for roasting, mashing, sauteeing, or any other potato needs.

Leeks, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - A milder cousin of onion and garlic, leeks add a sweet, oniony flavor that give depth to any meal. Use them anywhere you’d use alliums, or try them on their own! Save the dark leafy tops for use in homemade stock.

Tetsukabuto Squash, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - A cross between butternut and kabocha, this squash is sweet and nutty, great for roasting, soups, or tempura.

Savoy Cabbage, Westwind Organics, Carnation, WA - Savoy cabbage is versatile, similar to green cabbage but a bit milder and sweeter. Its tender, ruffled leaves make it perfect for salads, coleslaws, or even wraps.

Carrots, Westwind Organics, Carnation, WA - Crisp, sweet, and full of flavor, these carrots are great for snacking, roasting, or adding a pop of color to your favorite dishes.
