Read MoreGreen Garlic Storage Tip
Hello! You know, the first week we got the green garlic in our boxes I just chucked it in the crisper and went about the business of unloading the rest of the box. Then later in the week, when I wanted to use it, I found it had wilted. It still tasted great, but it…

Read MoreCimmaron Cherry Smoothie
Cimmaron is a red Romaine variety. Cimmaron lettuce is beautiful and unusual with its garnet color and its long slender leaves.

Read MoreJuicing Celery
Gather the goods..then juice ’em! During this past January we had some very cold (for California, sorry East Coast!) overnight temps at the farm and I think that this stressed our celery. When you open your CSA box and see celery listed on the packing slip you may or may not recognize it. …

Read MoreGrapefruit-ade!
What do you do with those delicious grapefruit? My sons like to eat them cut in half and sprinkled with sugar…sound familiar? Do you supreme them and put them in salads?
