Welcome to the first week of the 2021 Spring CSA Season! Members will enjoy the following items from our farm and partner producers in their shares:

- Beans, Green – Big Daddy’s Organic Farm
- Bok Choy, baby, bunch – wash and roast whole, or cut off the end and sauté leaves

- Dill, bunch
- Red Romaine Lettuce
- Sweet Onions, bunch – use the tops as well, like you would scallions!
- Bonita Sweet Potato Yams – Sweet and creamy, white-fleshed sweet potatoes.
- Fresh Turmeric Root
Lately, I’ve been trying to incorporate fresh turmeric in every dinner meal. Last night, I blanched some green beans for one minute, to keep their crunch, and tossed in a marinade of finely chopped – or grated if that’s easier – 1 inch piece of turmeric root and 1 garlic clove, a splash of good balsamic and olive oil, salt and fresh ground black pepper. The turmeric gave a lovely earthy kick, and balanced nicely with the sweet balsamic. Thinly sliced sweet onion would be a great substitute for the garlic. Thanks for being a part of Frog Song. We’re looking forward to a bountiful Spring Season and hope to see you at the farm for Strawberry U-Pick events! Have a wonderful week, everyone! – Amy Jane
