4P Foods Weekly Harvest

JOIN THE FOOD REVOLUTION
"Access to good, fresh, nutritious food is every child's human right, but currently we're failing our children." - Jamie Oliver
Yesterday, a worldwide campaign to fight the social injustices in the food system was launched.  Here at 4P Foods, we're proud to be part of that revolution.  Our brand promise to our farmers, our members, and our community, is this: 

“We know that you know the food system needs some work.  We also recognize that you are busy and can't always engage in all pieces of it every day.  By spending your food dollars with us, you are voting with your fork, because together, we are going to fight that fight on your behalf.  Together, we are building a more equitable food system.”

While we know that healthy, local food delivered conveniently to you is something you enjoy, we hope you see that this is also about creating equity for those in our food system who are often overlooked.  We couldn't do this without you, so thank you for your support.  Now, we invite you to join us in that Food Revolution:

HEIRLOOM RICE
This is amazing.  For the first time ever, 4P Foods is going to have rice... and not just any rice.  Justin has worked tirelessly with a new team of family farms in the south that are bringing back heirloom varieties of beans, peas, and rice.  This week, we are excited to introduce you to Charleston Golden Rice, a NON-GMO heirloom variety, hand harvested and milled by farmer Jimmy Hagood.  This rice is incredible.  It has a mild nutty flavor, with a sweetness that reminds us of basmati.  Supporting these types of farms and crops to renew the bounty of heirloom American seeds is one of the best parts of what we do.  Major props to Justin and Jimmy for making this happen.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the rice!  

SCAPES
Have you ever cooked with garlic scapes?  They are a rare treat with a very short season, but they are one of the highlights of spring.  Bon Appetit has an article calling them the "best vegetable you're not cooking with yet."  They're something akin to a scallion with a very subtle garlic flavor.  Eat them raw, cooked, chopped into pesto, and more.  Check out 10 Easy Ways to cook with Scapes HERE.  Many thanks to our friends at Lois Produce Farm in  Virginia for getting us these special spring highlight this coming week.
