Early in the summer, I had experimented with a batch of garlic scape pesto only to find myself terribly disappointed. Today’s pasta sauce was the antithesis of that. I was home from work by 6pm, and I’m away from the office for the rest of the week. I went to visit the plants in the [...]

What do you do when you’ve got a small cabbage head and a bunch of small carrots from your CSA? Not to mention that your mother bought you half a nagaimo (Japanese mountain yam) and a couple of chayote squash for no reason? Soup! And I must be absolutely mad to be making soup on a [...]

Did you know that beets are actually the same species as Swiss Chard? Swiss chard is bred to have big colorful leaves, while beets are bred to have big juicy roots, but you can absolutely eat the root of a chard plant, or the greens of a beet. We at the farm almost never eat chard, just [...]

(haha, another entry that I’m posting later than I had originally intended. CSA #4 is tomorrow… I wonder what it will be!) “Things are still pretty green at the farm. Until the cukes and zucchini start yielding the shares tend to be pretty light and leafy. But lots of goodies on the way: tomatoes and [...]

(I meant to post this yesterday but I didn’t finish it before I went to bed.) Along the DCR Cambridge Parkway today, the Museum of Science and its sponsors held the “Let’s Talk About Food” festival. I didn’t go last year. I had never even heard of it until about two weeks ago when I [...]
shiso/wine/soy sauce chicken with steamed veggies

As for last week’s CSA, I steamed my baby turnips and kohlrabi. I peeled the skin off the kohlrabi but I should have peeled a little deeper. It was quite fibrous and hard to chew. Flavor-wise, the two veggies are very similar: very clean tasting and a sweet. I preferred the turnips over the kohlrabi. [...]

I’m so excited! My sister and I agreed to do a veggie CSA sometime ago, and our shares are finally starting! This is our best guess of what will come in this week. Please remember that sometimes we can’t harvest exactly what we expect! Salad Mix (lb) 0.75 Kale/Chard (bunch) 1 Herbs (bunch) 1 Basil [...]
