Week of June 3rd

My dear community members,

Happy June. We’ve been digging new potatoes for the CSA boxes and I’m really excited to share them. Yellow, red and purple (my favorite) potatoes are coming your way. Packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals (which are believed to protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer), these humble little potatoes are a great addition to your meals this week. They are really tender and delicious simply steamed. Fresh dill compliments potatoes beautifully. There are so many versions of potato salad and everyone has their own favorite recipe. Have you tried one with avocado? Check this recipe out.

Fresh greens query! I want to hear your suggestions for different types of greens to add to the mix of romaine and red leaf lettuces. While those are two staples I really enjoy I’ve been brainstorming others that would be delicious for salads. Spinach, dandelion and arugula are a few that come to mind that are intermittently in the box but let me know if you’ve been craving anything in particular.

This has been an especially heavy week. Be good to each other. We need it now more than ever.
