Spring Bounty



Where your arugula comes from - arugula field chez Farmer John



Where your broccoli comes from, chez Farmer John



Mizuna above


What a bountiful box we had in Silver Lake today! Here's what Farmer John had for us:

Turnips
Avocados
Garlic
Beets
Mizuna
Arugula
Kale
Butter lettuce
Adolescent romaine and oak leaf lettuces
Mint
Baby spinach
Chamomile
Radishes

Jed Lind also brought tangerines and loquats to share with shareholders.

I'll post a recipe soon. In the meantime, make a lovely fresh salad with a combination of greens: mizuna, arugula, a little of each of the lettuces and a chiffonade of 4-5 mint leaves. Dress it lightly with your favorite flavored vinegar and olive oil, add a little salt and pepper, and enjoy the taste of spring.
