Fall is the best time for getting the greens! We have a variety of lettuces and other greens that are sure to make you smile, and will be available from now throughout the winter. We love growing, harvesting, and combining the different greens flavors to make your salad and spicy mixes unique every week!
This week we’ll have lettuce, tatsoi, red mustard, and Tokyo bekana! The red mustard is one of our favorite greens, because of its beautiful color and the spiciness it adds to any spicy mix. Tokyo bekana is new for us, and maybe not a green you’re familiar with! It’s also known as small Chinese cabbage or celery mustard, and it has a mild and peppery flavor without the bitterness of some of the mustard greens. The leaves are a lighter green color and can be harvested both in heads or as looseleaf greens.
Speaking of greens, the Corner Farmers Market has an exciting announcement regarding their Green for Greens program! An anonymous donor has agreed to match every dollar that’s raised for the Green for Green fund from now until Thanksgiving—up to $4,000! How exciting is that? Uhtred will be doing his part to help raise money for the program, by offering his one of a kind art tomorrow at Uhtred’s Table! He’ll be manning the table until his T-ball game. 😁
We can’t wait to see you tomorrow at the Corner Farmers Market from 8am-12pm, to talk about all things green! 😉
