PUGET SOUND FARM BOX

IN THIS WEEK’S FARM BOX:

Carmen Sweet Peppers, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA: With a crisp texture, delicate sweetness, and slight hint of earthiness, these peppers are an excellent addition to salads, grilled dishes, or as a raw snack.

Gold Beets, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA: These golden beauties have a milder, slightly sweeter flavor than red beets and won't stain your cutting board. Perfect for roasting or slicing raw into salads.

Broccoli, Caruso Farms, Snohomish, WA: Packed with both nutrients and flavor, who doesn't love this crunchy green veggie? Roast it with garlic and olive oil for crispy florets or toss it into stir-fries for a quick and nutritious dinner.

Red Kuri Squash, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA: Sweet and nutty, this squash is known for its versatile "chestnut" flavor and velvety texture. The skin is edible, too!

Green Beans, First Cut Farm, Mount Vernon, WA: Petite, tender and flavorful, these beans can be enjoyed in a variety of ways: raw, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or baked.

Yellow Onions, First Cut Farm, Mount Vernon, WA: A staple in the kitchen, the yellow onion is perfect for French onion soup, caramelizing, or adding to just about any dish.

Red Curly Kale, Boldly Grown Farm, Mount Vernon, WA. Sweet and tender with a striking color, de-stem the leaves and sauté, or massage for a seasonal salad.
