FEB24 (W1): We’re Baaaaack!
Dear Farm Community -
It was another pretty quiet week on the farm so nothing major to report, but luckily there is something very exciting happening THIS week! At long last, CSA time is here! We are so excited to see all our February CSA members at pickup tomorrow from 4-6pm at Athens Montessori (3145 S Barnett Shoals Rd). For those of you returning from a successful and scrumptious CSA season last year, welcome back! For those of you who are new to our farm, we’re so happy you’re here and look forward to getting to know you :)
Our new CSA coordinator Averi will be at CSA pickup tomorrow with all your delicious produce. Averi is a recent UGA grad and super enthusiastic about all things agriculture so have a little chat and introduce yourself while you’re there as she will be your guide and touchpoint for all things CSA this year.
Check out the bottom of this email for what’s in your share this week, where it will be in every newsletter for the duration of our CSA program. This week you will find our super-sweet winter carrots that have recently been featured in dishes at The National in Athens and Gigi’s Italian Kitchen in Atlanta. But you don’t need to go to a restaurant to enjoy the flavor of these winter crown jewels! Try your hand at these honey-orange glazed carrots or get even sweeter with this carrot cake recipe that calls for exactly the amount of carrots in your share!
You’ll also be seeing daikon radishes in your share this week. These big and beautiful asian radishes are milder and a bit sweeter than their small red salad radish cousins, making them incredible for snacking. My preferred way to eat them is cut into chunky matchsticks and dipped my favorite hummus! They’re also wonderful roasted, fermented in a kimchi, or cooked in a soup.
Can’t wait for you all to enjoy!
See you tomorrow!
