What's in this week's Box
Grown on our farm using organic farming methods:
radishes, salad mix, Brussel Sprouts, spinach, potatoes, broccoli, and carrots.

The "Persian" cucumbers come from Ocean Breeze Farms in Nipomo...pesticide- free .

The apples come from Cuyama Orchards near Cuyama...certified organic.

Brussel Sprouts...is the new "IN" vegetable!

You may see a few aphids on the sprouts...not to worry, you should be able to get most of them off by spraying them in your sink with a strong stream of water.

An easy recipe:

Wash off the sprouts, cut them in half, coat with a little olive oil, garlic powder and salt and pepper, spread them out single layer on a cookie sheet ( don't crowd them ) and roast in your oven at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, turning once or twice until crispy on the outside.  You can add a little Balsamic vinegar before you roast them if desired.

The "Sierra Gold" potatoes are great for baking, roasting, mashing or frying. No need to peel off the outer skin, just scrub off the dirt and cook with the skins left on ( much of the nutrients in a potato are in the skins!). They have a nice sweet taste and a yellow, creamy insides.

 . The "Persian" cucumber is unique among cucumbers in that it has a thin skin that doesn't require peeling and has no bitter aftertaste.
