Box Delivery Week 21


October 24th, 2014
Week 21

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Spinach, Rutabaga, Beet Greens, Lacinato Kale, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Potatoes, Celeriac, Garlic and Rosemary

This week is a bit of a mix with the end of the season drawing near. For those who do not know what Celeriac is, it’s a root vegetable with a celery taste. It is wonderful in stews, boiled and mashed with potatoes and grating into a slaw salad with cabbage, carrot… Just about any root vegetable can go in it.

My favorite easiest dressing for coleslaw:
Start small as you can always make more. For two people I usually use ½ cup of mayonnaise and then slowly add pickle juice mixing until a desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then add your coleslaw and toss it together. If you think you need a little more dressing just make some more in a separate bowl and then pour over the salad.

Another great side dish is rutabaga or potatoes roasted with rosemary and garlic. Dice up the root vegetable, mince the garlic and add some copped rosemary. Mix in a casserole dish with some olive oil and bake until tender at 350 degrees.

Next week the delivery will be on Thursday as Friday is Halloween. It will also be the last delivery for this season. My thoughts are already on next season and I am looking forward to your ideas on what you would like me to grow for you in 2015.

Have a wonderful week!

Your Farmer,

Amber
