PUGET SOUND FARM BOX

IN THIS WEEK’S FARM BOX:

Italian Parsley, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA: Great flavor and pleasant texture, sweeter than the curly stuff! Try making a chimichurri, tabbouleh, or use as a garnish on just about any dish.

Parsnips, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA: Sweet and earthy, parsnips are like a cozy cousin to carrots—try them roasted, mashed, or in soups.

Carrots, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA: Crisp, sweet, and full of flavor, these carrots are great for snacking, roasting, or adding a pop of color to your favorite dishes.

Celery, Westwind Organics, Carnation, WA: Most commonly used in salads, cooked in soups and stews, or juiced, this mild and crisp veggie can do it all

Baby Broccoli, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA: A tender, milder cousin of traditional broccoli, baby broccoli is quick to cook and perfect for stir-fries, pastas, or simply roasted with lemon and olive oil.

Baby Bok Choy, First Cut Farm, Mount Vernon, WA: Delicate and mild, baby bok choy cooks up quickly and brings a nice texture to stir-fries, brothy soups, or noodle bowls.

Purple Bell Peppers, Boldly Grown Farm, Mount Vernon, WA. These beauties are most similar to a green bell pepper, but slightly sweeter. Crisp and crunchy, they can be enjoyed raw or cooked, though they become milder and lose their purple color when heated.

Green Curly Kale, Boldly Grown Farm, Mount Vernon, WA. With its ruffled leaves and rich flavor, this sturdy kale is great sautéed, tossed into soups, or massaged into a hearty salad.
