Farm Update – July 24, 2015 Weekly harvest, Kale Tips

This summer has been almost ideal for our garden as we have had regular rains with sunny periods in between.  Already most of the plants are larger than they were in fall last year!  Its wonderful to see.

We have uploaded an updated price list for our products on our Products page.

Kale Tips: – Kale is a highly nutritious green that has many uses.  We often cut it into strips and add it to soups.  We have added a wonderful kale, chickpea and sausage soup recipe to our website. Another idea is to shake kale leaves in a bag with olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet at 350F for 10-15 minutes until edges are brown but not burnt.  We try to pick out kale young and tender so it is very good in salads, omelets or scrambled eggs.  We have two types of kale available: the traditional curly kale that you see in the grocery store, and Premier kale, pictured here, which has a more mellow, cabbage-like flavour.
