This year I decided not to renew with Red Fire Farm, after last year's bulk order 6-month fiasco. I chose to go with Next Barn Over Farm, based in Hadley, with a regular-sized boxed share that I pick up at the Harvard Square Clover on Tuesdays. Today was the first pickup.

a large bunch of smallish Hakurei turnips with greens
a medium bunch of red radishes with greens
seven baby bok choy (the all-light-green kind)
a medium bunch of green garlic (six, with young garlic bulbs, and some with scapes on top)
four small summer squash
two enormous heads of green leaf lettuce
a bunch of basil
a huge bunch of mostly-green red Russian kale (based on the purple stems)

I also got a mushroom share through Rhode Island Mushroom Company, which is also a Tuesday pickup at the same Clover. It's a brown bag with mushrooms each week, and definitely a bit more than last year's share. This week was the third pickup
Week 1: maitake
Week 2: shiitake
Week 3: blue oyster mushroom

First thoughts: turnip and radish greens sauteed with some garlic, basil, and mushrooms, likely also eggs. Lots of green salad. Fridge pickles for the radishes, possibly also turnips. A stir-fry with the bok choy, miso, tofu, garlic, ginger, etc. Possibly a soup with the kale and some leftover sweet potato.
