Winter share, 1 of 11
Nov. 1st, 2023 06:46 pmAt least, I think it's 11. I'm getting a winter share from Stone Soup Farm, the same one I got my summer farm share from. Same time/place, except every other week (and disrupted for the end of Dec, unsurprisingly).
This week included:
First thoughts: squash with greens and onions; green salad; roasted root veggies; carrot pickles.
* The farm offered an optional one pound of seed garlic for those who emailed. I emailed, knowing it would be too much, but I could plant some and offer some to local gardeners. I did not expect quadruple the amount, so now I have to revise the plan. Technically it's not food-grade, because briefly under flood waters before they were harvested.
This week included:
- a little perfect-bound cookbook, Cooking for Winter Health Wellness: Stocks, Soups, Stews and Herbal Remedies, by Brittany Wood Nickerson
- three pounds of carrots
- two pounds of purple-top turnips
- a medium winter squash (I chose kabocha over butternut, since I still have butternut from last week)
- a medium head of cabbage (I chose Savoy since I still have a lot of green cabbage from last week)
- four medium-small yellow onions
- a bunch of collards
- a bunch of curly kale (swapped for two more onions and another pound and a half of carrots)
- a head of green-leaf lettuce
- as much as you want herbs (I chose to skip them this time, still having some from last week)
- four pounds of seed garlic*
