Week 2

Hope you are enjoying the warm weather and break from the wind as much as we are!

This week’s veggie box will be on the smaller side as a few of our crops are taking longer to size up due to the cold weather the past weeks.  But we are starting to see some blushing in the strawberry patch!

 

Two of the items to expect in this week’s veggie box are Collards and Cos Lettuce Heads.  For some unique ways of preparing lettuce check out these recipes:

Cos lettuce with Chunky Tomato Vinaigrette

Lettuce with Oyster Sauce

Cos with Garlic Mayonnaise

 

Wind Whipped Collards

For Collards, we suggest you check out this Collards recipe from Epicurious for a traditional southern way of preparing them. However, Collards are  great simply steamed, sauteed or in soups.

 

Also, we will try to always have a few bags of Metchosin flour and wheat berries on hand at the pickups.  Prices per 2kg bag are: $4.50 Wheat Berries, $7.50 Whole Wheat Flour, $9 Sifted Flour.

Stillmeadow Farm and Parry Bay Sheep Farm combine in Metchosin.
