Mountain Bounty Farm News 

Dear Farm Friends,

Fall on the farm is characterized by cool-weather crops, and among them, brassicas take center stage. These hearty vegetables thrive as temperatures drop (which hopefully they will do soon...), drawing from our rich, fertile soil to produce some of the most nutrient-dense veggies of the year. From tender broccoli to robust kale, the brassica family is known for its vibrant flavors, versatility, and exceptional health benefits, making them the stars of our fall harvest.

In the fields, our organic cauliflower grows with tightly packed heads nestled within broad, protective leaves. Their bright white florets are shielded from the sun by the leaves, giving the heads a fresh, crisp appearance. The cauliflower’s uniform shape and clean, compact growth make it easy to harvest and a are a sign of healthy, well-tended soil. We look forward to putting these gems in your boxes soon!

Enjoy your shares this week.

Organic Mushrooms are back from Mountain Mushrooms Reno!

This week will be a mix of Blue Oysters, Trumpets and/or Chestnuts, locally grown from Mountain Mushrooms (bags will contain 2 of these varieties).

General mushroom cooking instructions: Mushrooms should be cooked for about 15-20 minutes. Sautéing them is what we do most around here! 

Health Benefits of Mushrooms:

Aside from being a low-calorie food, mushrooms have a wide variety of health benefits! They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all which are important for our bodies. Some specific ways they have been found to benefit us include: boosting our immune system, lowering blood pressure, assisting with weigh loss, and even reducing the risk of serious diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.

They are also an amazing option for plant-based diets, since they have a meaty texture and can absorb flavors extremely well!



Try this amazing Mixed Mushrooms Sautee' as a delicious, easy side dish!

Coffee Share CSA

Try our Mountain Bounty personalized coffee blend CSA (both Regular and Decaf) from Remedy Coffee Company in Auburn!

Remedy coffee is made with a focus on quality, by working directly with growers and producers, and small batch-roasting to bring out the natural flavors of the coffee bean. Their coffee is served at local Nevada City haunts such as Three Forks and Briar Patch.

We are thrilled to offer up our own signature coffee; the "Mountain Bounty Blend" as a Weekly or Bi-weekly CSA Subscription.

Recipes, storage tips, inspiration and nutrition information:

• Upgrade your classic hummus dip with some color and earthy flavor in this Roasted Beet Hummus (Click here).

• The simplicity of this dish really wins me over. Roasted Carrots with Dill (Click here) are yummy and nourishing. Pair with a yogurt dipping sauce if you feel inspired, or enjoy plain.

• Pickle up some Taqueria Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots (Click here) and put on just about anything for a kick of tang and heat!

• This bright Arugula Salad (Click here) would work wonderfully with Spinach or Arugula. The lemony dressing with the salty parmesan and the crunch of the seeds or nuts makes this salad surprisingly satisfying and filling!
