Collard 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 Potato Mix, First Cut Farms, Mount Vernon, WA - Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, put ‘em in a stew… my favorite is to chop, boil until fork-tender, and sautee in a breakfast hash or bake until beautifully golden. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, this is a perfect potato!
Carnival Squash, Hedlin’s Family Farm, La Conner, WA - A cross between acorn and sweet dumpling, this squash is a classic in the making. It has a nutty, sweet, and buttery flavor profile — plus, the skin is edible!
Red Beets, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - Earthy and naturally sweet, red beets shine roasted, shaved raw into slaws, or blended into vibrant soups.
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.
Parsnips, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA - Sweet and earthy, parsnips are like a cozy cousin to carrots—try them roasted, mashed, or in soups.
Purple Sprouting Broccoli, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - Similar to raab, PSB is an early spring delicacy with a sweet and nutty flavor. The purple fades when cooked; try it boiled, steamed, stir-fried, griddled, roasted, or even air-fried!
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.
