Okay CSA-ers, we're getting closer to the big day. The start of the season will be here in just a few short days. We're looking forward to seeing familiar faces from last year and getting to know some new veggie fans. This week in your bags you'll find:
Farm-fresh eggs. You'll get a mix of extremely fresh white, off-white and brown eggs from our lovely Louisa chickens. As we're getting our new chickens into full-on production mode, we may be supplementing our egg supply with a few from nearby Eden Farms. Eden Farms chickens are just as happy as our birds. They breathe the same air and live on similar soil.
If you've never had a true farm-fresh egg before, you're in for a treat. These eggs are packed with flavor and even look different from the varieties you find at the grocery store. They're great simply fried for breakfast, or if you're feeling creative, why not try poaching one and making a classic French salad? Feeling even more creative? How about shakshuka? It's an easy Israeli dish made with eggs, peppers, diced tomatoes and few other ingredients.
Greens. There'll be greens for eating raw and greens for cooking. This will be the start of a leafy season.
Spring Onions. Don't confuse these mild, earthy onions with scallions. They're milder than normal onions, but zingier and sweeter than scallions. Their subtle flavor makes them ideal for slicing raw and adding to salads, but they also tasted great grilled, roasted or stir-fried. We like adding them to homemade risotto.
There may be limited produce available for sale this week, as the season is still getting started, but there's plenty to come. We're looking forward to seeing you at the market!
