Recipes


ROASTED KOHLRABI

Serves 4 (smallish servings since roasted vegetables shrink so much)

1 1/2 pounds fresh kohlrabi, ends trimmed, thick green skin sliced off with a knife, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic (garlic is optional, to my taste)
Salt
Good vinegar

Set oven to 450F. Toss the diced kohlrabi with olive oil, garlic and salt in a bowl. (The kohlrabi can be tossed with oil and seasonings right on the pan but uses more oil.) Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and put into oven (it needn’t be fully preheated) and roast for 30 – 35 minutes, stirring every five minutes after about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a good vinegar (probably at the table so the kohlrabi doesn’t get squishy).

Market News


Hello!

It is a beautiful evening here after a rainy weekend. This cool and gray beginning to May hardly feels like a Tennessee spring! It has slowed down getting many summer crops into the field, like cucumbers, summer squash, and green beans. However, the next round of produce is kicking in, and we have a nice selection for you this week with some of the first new spring offerings – including flowers.

The strawberries are starting to trickle in. There is much anticipation for this crop! Please remember that the first fruit comes in slowly until the plants peak in their production. Although we would like to hope we can meet the demand, we are sure there will be some disappointed customers the next few weeks. It is a hard thing for us, as we want everyone to get their strawberry fix! So please be patient as the berries come in, and rest assured we will have plenty to go around in the next month of strawberry production.

We have some new basil varieties this week for you to transplant into your garden. We would love for you to return the 4" pots the transplants come in, as we can reuse them next year! The same goes for any of the plastic we pack your produce in.

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
