Beets*

Beets are an awesome way to add some vibrant color to meals. People often think beets taste like dirt, but we’ve found that the “dirty” taste comes from the skin. Use a paring knife or a vegetable peeler to peel them. If you’re still unsure about their flavor, try shredding them and adding them to a slaw. The greens can be used in salads, stir fries, or can be wilted on top of any dish.

Our cabbages have come a long way! We harvested 400 # of cabbage on Tuesday. Also, in our first and second seasons, another farmer teased us for bringing “brussels sprouts” to the market because our cabbages were so small. Look at them now!

STORAGE: Remove greens. The root is the energy source of the whole plant, and even though we like to include the greens attached, the greens draw nutrients from the roots as they store. Keep roots in a closed container or plastic bag in the fridge. Roots like a humid environment, and will keep for 4-6 months if stored correctly.

Here is our BEET PAGE for some recipes and tips!

Most of the veggies in this share go very well together, and the cabbage, beets, and carrots will last for months if stored in the fridge in a closed container or plastic bag.

Huge shoutout to our “ride or die”, Ali. She is helping us out this season between travels. She knows the farm in and out and is the best farm sitter and project doer.
