sugar snap peas
LETTUCE (F2/P1) The green
Romaines have grown big and beautiful this week. Everyone gets one plus another type for the
full shares. Time for some Caesar salad!
BROCCOLI (F/P) We have big bunches of broccoli this
week. Inspect the heads for any green caterpillars
we might have missed by either soaking in salt water or just keeping an eye
peeled as you chop them up.
SUGAR SNAP PEAS (F/P)
Enjoy the peas while they last because they won’t last long! We think we hit a record harvest on Saturday
with 140 lbs. of peas picked.
SNOW PEAS (F) We grow
a bigger variety than what you see in the store. We like them because they get sweeter as the
peas fill out the pods.
SCALLIONS (F/P) Green
onions go in every springtime dish and we have started to grow more of these
little guys.
KOHLRABI (F/P) Like
an alien spaceship that has landed on the earth, these bulbs grow right above
the ground. See Tom’s post for more on this spring treat.
GREENS CHOICE (F/P) We have an assortment of greens in the
field to pick. We plan to include baby
bok choy, kale, and/or tat soi.
HERB CHOICE (F)
Cilantro, dill, parsley or mint
ALSO THIS WEEK:
Parker Farms shares
NEXT WEEK: More
lettuce, peas, broccoli and kohlrabi. More
Hakurei turnips and the first of the summer squash and baby beets.
FARM REPORT
Our dear friend, Bill McKelvey, made his annual springtime visit
to the farm last weekend. We met Bill
while we were selling our produce at what is now the Westport Farmers Market. Bill is a talented home gardener, a
professional working to expand access to fresh produce in underserved
communities and a skilled photographer.
His visit coincided with a marathon of pea picking on Saturday
morning. In this post all photos are his. Here’s just a few of his great
shots….
I love the tunnel of peas with high tunnel in background.
Bill caught great portraits of some of my favorite people.

FSF apprentice, Ryan Stubby, and ...
my favorite farmer, Tom Ruggieri.
