Sunchokes, lettuce, spinach, baby carrots, and more... plus milk, coffee, and olive oil Tuesday, December 28 at our Farm Store! The first of our new harvest of Sunchokes is waiting for you at our Farm Store. You may know Sunchokes as Jerusalem artichokes. They are a delicious mid-winter treat that you can use in stir fry, sauté with butter or olive oil, and use in soups. This week's Abundantly Green newsletter will have sunchoke recipes. In our modern world of grocery stores, they are often overlooked because they are not a glamorous looking. However, while not glamourous, our "gnarly little tubers" are gorgeous. Sunchokes are crunchy with a nutty taste. I think they taste a bit like chestnuts. Cooked, their texture is like a potato. A good starch substitute for diabetics. Sunchokes are rich in inulin, a starch or carbohydrate that is safe for diabetics. This is a well-recognized fact. Beyond that, there are many claims of other health benefits. Some people say that sunchokes cure many things since they are also rich in prebiotics. Sunchokes are one of the healthy New World plants that Sir Walter Raleigh took to Europe from Virginia. The foreign suggesting name Jerusalem artichoke is actually a mangling of the Italian word girasola, which means sunflower. All our products are competitively priced. We are told that we are the only fresh, locally grown source this winter. Buying at our Farm Store supports our transition to year-round growing, while providing you with certified organic produce, plus our extras.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

WE WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY WEEKEND

We will be here Tuesday with more Winter Wreaths, fresh picked lettuce, baby carrots, baby beets, and other delicious produce.

Merry Christmas from Abundantly Green. We offer two types of gifts that you get those who you want to inspire to be healthier. The first is a CSA membership, and the second is Veggie Bucks discount. Food is love, and what better way to show your love than one or both of these great gifts. 

We will have locally grown treats for your holiday dinner at our Farm Store on Tuesday. We will be doing this on the honor system this week and next week because we have given many members of the crew the last two weeks of month off. Rest, warm up, and shop is their credo.We have no more wreaths available here, but Judy's Junk and Java, the home for Personal Roast Coffee, has a few.

Our greenhouse emergency is now over, and the rips that threatened to take down the plastic cover have been mended. We are sorry for any inconvenience this caused, but we had to cope with the latest craziness brought by the weather. The steady and relatively high winds lifted the canopy we used for hardening your starts and flew it over the greenhouse and then dropped it. Delicately, we disentangled the two with a minimum of rips in the greenhouse cover. Please check back with us about what is available in our Farm Store.

MILK AND COFFEE ONLY

DUE TO A GREENHOUSE EMERGENCY THAT WE HAVE TO REPAIR OR LOSE THE GREENHOUSE, WE ARE POSTPONING THE FARM STORE TODAY. CHECK BACK FOR MORE INFORMATION.

We have carrots dug this morning, lettuce cut this morning, and much more also harvested today. A new shipment of delicious apples and pears awaits you, too.

Last Pumpkins Needing a Dinner Plate

We have a number of late ripening pumpkins available. These are pie pumpkins or can be cooked and eaten like any other winter squash. If you are planning fresh pumpkin pie for the holidays, get them now: soon they will be gone.

This week’s newsletter has pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin soup, baked pumpkin, and roasted pumpkin seeds.

There are a few delicate squash, too. Substitute several delicatas for pumpkin and you can roast those, too.

The Potatoes are gone

We have sold the last of our potatoes. We will be planting potatoes in January for an early spring harvest. Well, we will if it warms up. Over the winter the vegetable varieties will change.

 

Now that the temperature is back in the low 40’s, and it’s not pouring down rain, Jenn and Jones are out planting garlic. One type of garlic that the crew planted a few weeks ago is already two inches tall. The rest won’t even sprout for a few weeks.

The over-achieving garlic is Shandong. A Chinese garlic, it is considered one of the white garlic varieties, lavender veins streak the outside of the bulb. It is an early maturing variety, so we are hoping for June garlic.

One of the benefits of planting certified organic garlic seed grown by people we have met is we can eat it. While not quite a “chili macho” experience, Shandong rips through your taste buds. For most people, a little will go a long way. For us garlic lovers, this means using a few cloves rather than a whole bulb.

We are so excited to see green, happy garlic tops poking through the black plastic mulch. The garlic was probably the only thing on this farm happy for the deep freeze last week. When you visit, the first garlic was planted in the 100 feet in front of the house where the potatoes were. Today, they are planting in the main field where we had potatoes.

Sustainable crop rotation practices state that garlic is a good crop to plant after potatoes.  Our  concern about this acquired knowledge is that it takes 49 years — seven years of rotation, and seven cycles of rotation — to prove the theory. Someone knew all about this, but kept it in the oral tradition for the most part. The huge body of knowledge we have lost in the past sixty years as modern industrial agriculture dissed the knowledge of farmers in favor of chemists who didn’t even go to a grocery store let alone grow food, may end our civilization.
