PUGET SOUND FARM BOX
half shares + base shares + large shares

Celeriac, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA - Also known as celery root, this weird-looking vegetable can be used the same as any tuber: mashed, roasted, even hasselbacked!

Shallots, First Cut Farms, Mount Vernon, WA - This delicate allium has a milder flavor than onions but can be used similarly, with a tendency to melt into dishes, providing aromatics without being overpowering. Try it in this perfect vinaigrette dressing!

Yellow Potatoes, Hayton 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!

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

Lusia Radicchio, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - With its compact, maroon leaves, radicchio provides a unique flavor that is bold, delightfully bitter, and slightly spicy. Add it raw to a salad with mild and sweet fixings to complement its bitter notes, or try it cooked to create a mellow and pleasant, yet complex, flavor profile.

Delicata Squash, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - This squash is known for being naturally sweet, mild, and creamy. The squash has a thin, edible skin, making it easy to cook!

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.

Lacinato Kale, Westwind Organics, Carnation, WA - This hearty, dark green kale has a slightly sweeter taste compared to its curly cousins, making it perfect for sautéing, smoothies, or adding to soups for a nutritional boost.

PNW FRUIT SHARE

Jonagold Apples, Bellewood Farms, Lynden, WA - A cross between a Jonathan and a Golden Delicious, this versatile apple is great for cooking, baking, putting in salads, or eating raw.

Cosmic Crisp Apples - Bellewood Farms, Lynden, WA - A mix between Honeycrisp and Enterprise, Cosmic Crisp is simply a win of an apple! It has great texture, flavor, sweetness, and juiciness, is disease-resistant, and the trees bear fruit annually (as opposed to alternate years, as with Honeycrisps).
