Did you know that if you join our CSA program by the end of this month, the first box is free? Simply enter JOINTHEFAM at checkout. And if you're curious what exactly goes into making our CSA boxes, take a gander at this week on the farm. There are beet, carrot, and cabbage clues.

 

These golden beet greens are looking top notch. We love a bunched beet - it's truly two vegetables for the price of one. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

If the quality of the greens is less desirable, beets get "topped" and harvested in bulk. Luckily, a few insect holes in the greens doesn't bother the roots one bit. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Did you read last week's blog post on brassicas? DId you know that a head of cabbage is just an enlarged terminal bud? Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Speaking of Brassicas, believe it or not, this dino kale and a head of green cabbage are actually the same species of plant. Whereas the cabbage was selectively bread for a large bud, kale was bred for large leaves. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

The kale that keeps on giving. These kale plants have been harvested off of throughout the whole fall and winter season, and there is plenty more to go. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
