Week 4
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Mesclun, Arugula, Kale, Spinach,
Radish, Cucumber and Rhubarb
This has been a fantastic week here
on the farm. I had a wonderful young lady named Marine join me. She and I were
able to accomplish so much, from digging new garden beds, teaching her how to
plant squash on little islands, transplanting, fertilizing and sowing new
seeds. It was great and I hope she had a great time and enjoyed herself.
Rhubarb is in your share this week.
It’s commonly referred to as the first fruit of the season. If you have never
cooked it before, here is the easiest recipe.
Stewed Rhubarb
6 cups chopped Rhubarb
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
Place all 3 ingredients into a large
saucepan over medium heat. Stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Then reduce
heat to medium-low, stir occasionally, simmering uncovered for approximately 15
minutes until thickened and the rhubarb is soft. Let cool.
It can be refrigerated for 5 days.
This compote is great on cottage
cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, toast or my favorite vanilla ice cream.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy
Canada Day!
If you have any questions please feel

Your Farmer,
Amber
