More bok choy is on the way! This is similar to napa cabbage salad, yummy with sesame seed and sunflower seeds also. I would recomend slicing the larger ribs of the bok choy like celery for this salad.
 Potatoes and garlic are looking fantastic!

Farm Tour and Charleston Farmers Market Growers Associaiton

Happy Spring Everyone!

Things are moving right along at the farm, and we have several crops ready to pick.  The spinach this years is great- it must be this prolonged cool weather.  We are hosting a Charleston Farmers Market Growers Association farm tour this Saturday, May 21 at 10:00 a.m.  The CFMGA pledges to grow 100% of what they sell, no resale of produce.  We will tour the farm and answer any questions you may have about local produce. 
We will have produce ready for a pick-up after the tour (maybe 30 min, depends on the discussions) and you can take your first 2011 share home with you.  For those of you that cannot make it on Saturday, you can pick-up your produce on Sunday afternoon, I was thinking between 1-3 (let me know if it does not work for you).  Once we meet with everyone, and get things started I think it would be a good idea to have you come out to the farm every other Sunday for produce, and I will bring it to town on the alternate Sunday's - we can share the travel expense that way - let me know what you think of that. 
Shares this week should include:
Salad mix (lettuce, baby beet greens, bok choi, spinach, baby kale, baby Swiss chard)
Bok Choi for stir fry, whole babies
Spinach
Lettuce
Asparagus (we should have enough for everyone, if not we will do half of you next week)


Hope to see everyone this weekend!
