Farm share, week 1

[magid]

I re-upped with Stone Soup Farm again; they managed to mitigate so many flood losses last year that I want to support them again, and they do grow excellent produce, if very straightforward in their choices. Pickups are again on Wednesdays (which yesterday was yom tov, hence no post until today, and on my end, approximating the amount for weights of veggies, since I don't use scales either). One big difference: the pickup is no longer at the Democracy Center, which is apparently closing this summer, but at a community center on Callendar St. It's about the same distance from home, but not along a bus route, and with one rather steep block, so a bit more challenging to get everything home.

• two large bunches of kale
  
• two large bunches of collards
  
• two bunches of cute red radishes with greens
  
• four space vegetables purple kohlrabi with greens
  
• a pound of spinach
  
• a pound of mixed salad greens
  
• two pounds of garlic scapes

First thoughts: I have a fridge full of leaves! Sauteed spinach and scapes. Kale salad with lemon-tahini dressing. Potato salad with massaged kale and sauteed scapes, maybe some peas (maybe also some hard boiled eggs). Fridge pickle the radishes. Sauteed collards, kohlrabi greens, and radish greens with scapes, onions, sweet potato, vegan sausage, cooked mixed beans (they're soaking now, Baer's Best brand), and berbere seasoning. Green salad with salad leaves, kohlrabi, possibly a couple of radishes, cucumber, grape tomatoes, and avocado. Possibly saute and freeze some leaves, just to keep up.

SPACE VEGETABLES!

Sounds delicious :)

The Democracy Center is closing? sigh.

I'm sad about it closing, too, though I admit I was only there for CSA pickups, rather than their own programming. I want to say that it's not emblematic of our current political era, but..... ::sad panda::

I keep imagining them for some kind of small entity's space ship....
