Week 2 of Our Organic Food Boxes – Rain and Cooler Weather Bring Bounty
The climate here in Puget Sound is mild enough that many vegetables are available well into the winter. Right now local farmers are harvesting winter squash, potatoes, beets, leeks and a huge variety of lettuces. Some vegetables such as kale and brussel sprouts become sweet and delectable in the Fall and Winter.
This week’s box from Growing Washington includes some tasty vegetables:
Lentils from Eastern Washington
A nice big batch of red potatoes
A huge bag of "braising mix" greens (kale, chard, beet greens, collards)
Apples and Plums
IAlso: Beets, fresh organic butter and free range hen eggs
This week I fully intend to make a nice lentil soup so stay tuned for the recipe.
