We've signed up for a Spring CSA through Good Life Farm for the month of May, with add-ons from Wide Awake Bakery and Double E Shiitakes. Last week was our first pickup, and boy was it tasty!
From Good Life:
Asparagus of various sizes (hard frosts overnight meant that ALL above-ground asparagus had to be harvested, or lost)
Spicy Red Mustard Greens (from Remembrance farm)
Crunchy Bean Sprouts (Dancing Turtle)
Radishes- Very small and tasty, about the size of a large marble! Very good combined with the mustard greens and bean sprouts.
Sorrel- Haven't tried these yet. Recommendation is to NOT saute them.
Since it was our first pick-up, we also received a jar of pickled ginger (gari)!
From Wide Awake:
Two bags of pizza dough- The baker was at Good Life when we made our pick-up and he said the recipe is still a work in progress. The dough tore easily and I wasn't a huge fan of it due to the sourdough flavoring that got more intense when I had the leftover pizza for lunch.
From Double E:
A pint of shiitake mushrooms. Nom. We cut these up and put them on the pizza, of course!
Saturday was Good Life Farm's "Asparaganza". We got yummy food from both The Piggery and Crooked Carrot. Fried asparagus, apple radish slaw, a pickled egg and beets from Crooked Carrot.
Note to self: Don't post about delicious foods before lunch!
