Wednesday's Newsletter- The POD
Click HERE to today's newsletter! And read below for more information about your share.
Today's share is pretty fantastic, including a couple new items this season like snow peas, garlic scapes, and Hakurei turnips!
Your snow peas are from Picadilly Farm, an organic certified farm in NH where Bruce & Jenny (New Entry Business Planning Course graduates) are blowin' up on the local food scene. Although we don't necessarily compare them to our beginning farmers on New Entry training sites in eastern MA, they help us out when our cohort of beginning, immigrant and refugee farmers are short on product like peas!
As for our Swiss Chard, there are a couple different varieties in our Wednesday shares. Some folks received more conventional Rainbow and White Swiss Chard bunches. Rechhat grew a variety of green that is related to Swiss chard and beets, but has thinner stems and smaller green waxy leaves. We also had to substitute 30 shares worth of chard with Tokyo Bekana, easily mistaken for lettuce due to its light green color, but is a fantastic green to stir fry or use in place of bok choy.
