It was a Great Summer
We have been very busy over the past few weeks bringing in the winter root crop. The cool winter-like airflows of October made for chilly working conditions, but it helped harden off our roots to perfection. Everything should be in good supply well into the Spring! So you can feel comfortable planning winter menus with steady availability through the winter. The only real failure this year was our Winter Nugget Squash. In a few weeks we begin planning and planting for next summer. Please let us know of any new crops you would like us to be growing.
Leafy Greens at their Peak, but not for long
Fall is the peak season for Leafy Greens. They lose their summer bitterness and take on cool weather sweetness. (The sugars are a defense from frosty nights.) (Speaking of frosty nights, keep in mind that Last-Minute orders cannot be picked on frosty mornings because the leaves need a few hours of thawing to heal. So please get your orders in early!)
Leafy Greens to consider are of course our most popular Rainbow of Swiss Chards. For the cool months also think of our Rainbow of Sweet Kales. For red leaves there is Red Treviso Chicory which is beautiful either raw or cooked. For large green leaves perfect for wrapping there is beautiful Romaine-like Sugarloaf Chicory. To great addition to any of these greens are Garlic Scapes
Any of the above can be served raw. But the following are best raw in salads or as garnishes. Baby Arugulas and Baby Cresses both have sharp nutty bites. Green Hot Mizuna and Purple Mizuna are spicy new forms of this classic mild Mustard Leaf. For a less deeply cut but frilly leaved heirloom there is Fordhook Mustard. For an attractive nutty-bitterness there are slender long leaves of Puntarella Chicory and sweet attractive Red-Stem Dandelion - Though not specific to fall, our greenhouse grown licoricy Chervil Leaves, buttery Fava Bean Leaves, aromatic Mint Tips, and tart Sorrel Leaves are all appealing green additions.
Then of course there is the granddaddy of all salads – the amazing Cookstown Greens’ Baby Salad Greens. It contains many of the above salad greens in hand-selected bite sizes. To add colour there is an Edible Flower Mix and Edible Flower Petals. For more textures there are all manor of our soil-grown Seedlings.
