Farm Orders This Week  
Our $20 Farmers Pick box this week 
Alright we had a terrific week on the farm with just enough mild weather to keep us from getting too cranky. The short days really takes a toll on us and we find ourselves doing a lot of farm chores after dark with headlamps on! Counting the days till we gain light again. . .

All went very well with harvests and deliveries from the farms, beautiful and delicious food grown locally and organically makes us so happy! So, we don't overload our Members with tons of Collards but they are a wonderful Green and we all know we should eat more dark green leafy vegetables (right?). If you're not a fan, try this recipe it's one of our all-time favorites: Stuffed Collard Rolls. The wonderful Shiitake Mushrooms in Farmers Pick boxes are from Sparta Imperial Mushrooms in Sparta GA. Be sure to remove the stems and always cook Shiitakes even for a minute or two, they contain a compound that may upset your stomach of eaten raw. We love these quickly sauteed with a little Ginger, Garlic and Soy Sauce and served with rice for a tasty meal. Mixed Roots this week may include: Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, White Sweet Potatoes and Radishes. Not familiar with cooked Radishes? Think of using them any way you would Carrots: raw or cooked they are terrific!

We will still need to choose the name for our Baby Goat so stay tuned on that issue, too!
