| | Our beautiful, nutritious and delicious $20 Farmer Pick box this week! |
Alrighty we hope everyone had a warm, delicious and loving holiday! We were traveling and had a wonderful vacation getaway with friends to Italy (pictures are posted on our Facebook page!). Lots of chaos while we were gone: one of our Baby Goats had some serious health problems so our wonderful Farmsitters Sandy and Danny Perry (and Laurie's Mom Linda) had to take him to the vet and nurse him; one of our farmers lost his help at the last minute so we didn't have as much Spinach as we expected (some Farmer Pick boxes got Arugula or Mizuna instead); and when we got home we found out one of our credit cards was fraudulently used and had to deal with all of that, argh!! But as you might expect Italy was wonderful and ultimately worth the consequences of getting away! We visitied Genoa, Parma and Venice and enjoyed living like city folks for two weeks. Ahhhhhhh. Now back to work!
Weekly Recipe: Asian Veggie Soup
Just what the doctor ordered: this soup is a fresh, healthy and refreshing change-up after traditional holiday feasting. Also featured in our Soup & Salad Box it will also warm you to your cockles! ;)
