Mountain Bounty Farm News 

Last week, the crew pulled off one of the more satisfying harvests of the season—garlic! After months of watching it grow, there's nothing like the moment we finally get to bring those fragrant bulbs from the soil and move them to "cure" under the oak tree until they are ready for the CSA Boxes later in the summer. It’s a big, dusty job, and it’s only possible with a large team working together.

Teamwork is one of the core values of our farm. With so many tasks to juggle each day, working as a team is essential to getting everything done. From planting to harvest, every hand and every effort matters. It’s this spirit (and efficiency) of collaboration that keeps the farm thriving and your farm boxes full of produce.

Recipes, storage tips and inspiration on how to "Use Up" leftovers from last week:

• Kohlrabi is a special treat that might seem intimidating, but can be super simple to prepare and it more mild than it's brassica cousins! Most simple, peel off the skin and cut into wedges to dip in hummus! Next level, try out this Kohlrabi and Apple Slaw (Click here). If you want a real treat, make this Roasted Kohlrabi with Garlic, Lemon and Pecorino (Click here).

• Whether you have zucchini or cucumber in your box, you can make this Zucchini Basil Salad (Click here). I for one am so excited about the start of these summer crops in the boxes!

• Add some crunch to your veggies by following this recipe for Roasted Broccolini with Parmesan-Pine Nut Pangritata (click here)! This quick, easy recipe uses breadcrumbs and Parmesan to add crunch and richness to your already delicious broccolini!

• "Feed the Fam" - This week spoil those pups in your family with these Kale, Apple and Oat Treats (Click here).

"USE IT UP" WEEKLY RECIPE!

Chłodnik litewski (Click here), or Polish Cold Beet Soup, is a refreshing, cold beet soup with a thick texture and a tangy base. It is a staple in Polish cuisine and can be loaded with fresh herbs like dill, scallions, turnips and basically anything else you've got in your fridge (along with those leftover beets)!
