Birch Point CSA Week 4

Snap peas galore, beautiful scallions, loads of lettuce, swiss chard, cilantro, dill and a new one for me - purslane. I'll have to try some in potato salad or verdolagas dal.

Greens, Beets, Garlic and Peas

A beautiful day for pick-up at Birch Point Farm. The smell of green garlic filled the car on the ride home, prompting me to use it for dinner tonight. The farm newsletter provided just the right recipe: saute the green garlic in olive oil, add baby beets and saute a few minutes, then add the beet greens and cook down, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Mix with toasted walnuts, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and pepper and a sprinkling of goat cheese. I'd forgotten how good beets are fresh from the farm!
