What's in this week's Box

Grown on our farm using organic farming methods:
radish, salad mix, kale, baby broccoli, potatoes, 

The avocados and cucumbers are grown by Ocean Breeze Farms in Nipomo...pesticide free.

The Pink Lady apples are grown by Cuyama Orchards near Cuyama Valley...certified organically grown.

The Mandarins are grown by Friend's Ranch in Ojai...Pesticide free.

How about a nice fresh kale salad using the bunch of Tuscano kale in your box this week. First, gently massage the leaves with your hands for a minute to make them a bit more tender. Then cut up the leaves into thin "ribbons" discarding the thicker portion of the stem. Mix in a bowl with some vinaigrette dressing and chopped nuts and fruits and finish with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top..delicious and good for you! Or how about some "kale chips"...wash and separate the leafy part from the stem ( discard the thicker stems ), cut up the leaves into smaller portions, add a little olive oil and seasonings, put on a roasting pan and roast in a hot oven until the leaves are crispy.

The "Sierra Gold" potatoes are great for baking, roasting, mashing or frying. No need to peel off the outer skin, just scrub off the dirt and cook with the skins left on ( much of the nutrients in a potato are in the skins!). They have a nice sweet taste and a yellow, creamy insides.
