Late Breaking Veggie News!




Bill just got back from the farm and has a few things that we didn't plan on when I updated on Wednesday. First up, GREEN PEPPERS! This the earliest we have ever picked any type of pepper. They love the hot weather, so we are kind of surprised that they were big enough to pick.





Next up--KOHLRABI. What is it, you say? Kohlrabi is a member of the cabbage family which gives kohlrabi a nice, mild cabbage taste. It is also versatile good either raw or cooked.

Kolhrabi is an excellent, crunchy addition to a veggie tray, cubed on a salad or shredded into coleslaw. It can also be boiled & mashed or cubed and baked with cheese.





Last, but not least, are GREEN BEANS. These long, straight, green beans are the first that we've brought to the market. This is a new variety that we are trying this year and I think we've hit a home run with them. Long and straight and skinny: all the qualities that you look for in a green bean. These will go fast, so come down early.






I hope everyone has a safe and fun Fourth of July--we're celebrating by having brats and watching the Cardinals play the Cubs! See you on Saturday.
