The news at the farm is all about the rain. And we have had enough of it for sure. The fields are soaked, saturated and pooling. We put out every effort today, picking and washing in the pouring rain. What was not hurt is looking great. Lettuce likes a lot of rain and it is some of the most perfect lettuce I have ever seen or tasted.
Rounding out our selections for this week are lettuce, carrots, beets, radishes and turnips, daikon, garlic and garlic scapes, spinach, kale, chard, cilantro, dill and many other herbs, plus Spring’s sweetheart — peas! I’m sure there are a few other things that I am forgetting in my exhaustion.
Be sure to come out and fill your baskets, we will see you at 97th Street on Friday and in Pleasantville on Saturday — rain or shine (hoping it’s shine for everyone’s sake!). Be sure to ask about the dill dip/dressing we ate all week long. It was great as a dip for carrots and sugar snap peas, and then in our chicken sandwiches with lots of salad, or as a dressing for the salad.
See you at the market!
