PUGET SOUND FARM BOX
IN THE FARM BOX THIS WEEK:
Green Curly Kale, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA: With its ruffled leaves and rich flavor, this sturdy kale is great sautéed, tossed into soups, or massaged into a hearty salad.
Butternut Squash, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA: Butternut squash is sweet and nutty, similar to a pumpkin. Easy to peel (with edible skin!), try it roasted in a winter salad or blended into a soup.
Red & Yellow Potatoes, First Cut Farms, Mount Vernon, WA: Best of both worlds! Roast with your favorite herbs and flaky salt.
Carrots, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA: Crisp, sweet, and full of flavor, carrots are great for snacking, roasting, or adding to a hearty soup.
Red Cylindrical Beets, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA: These long, narrow beets are easy to slice evenly and good for pickling or roasting.
Serrano Peppers, Broomstick Farm, Bow, WA: These serrano peppers are medium-spicy and picked at the green stage. Great for hot sauce, salsa, etc.
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, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA: Sweet and earthy, parsnips are like a cozy cousin to carrots—try them roasted, mashed, or in soups.
