Fresh and Local Produce Oct 19th - 25th

 
local salad mix

Fall Salad Mix 8oz Bags from Snow Goose Farms

 
A very unique, delicious and super fresh mix from our friend Emily Bunting’s hoophouse.  Includes spinach, several varieties of arugula, baby red Russian kale, wild garden kale, baby chard, & a bunch of Asian greens:  mizuna, Tokyo bekana, red komatsuna, Chinese mustard, & tenderleaf.  The mix is lettuce-free, but very mild & tender from being raised in the greenhouse & packed full of flavor & nutrients from all the spinach, chard, & brassicas.  She should have it through the fall & into early winter, taking a hiatus through the coldest months, & back again in late winter/early spring.
local white onions

White Onions from Snow Goose Farms

 
A somewhat sweet & mild onion that don’t add color to dishes.  A great onion to use fresh in salads & sandwiches, it’s also the classic onion to make pico de gallo (fresh salsa) with.  Onions are very high in antioxidant flavonoids & vitamin C.
local broccoli rabe

Rapini from Snow Goose Farms

 
Also called “broccoli raab”, rapini is a tender cooking green in the cabbage (brassica) family.  Very sweet & cooks up quick – just barely wilt it by sautéing, stir-frying or adding at the last minute to soups or sauces. Very high in vitamins & minerals.
