What the Farmer Brought
First CSA of the 2014 season. I joined a new CSA this summer. This one has a drop off at work eliminating my beautiful veggies from sitting in a hot car trunk on over scheduled weekends.
This year my veggies are coming from Katchkie Farms in Kinderhook, NY. They are a year-round organic farm owned by a NYC based catering company (Great Performances).
http://katchkiefarm.com And the farm manager is Farmer Bob which reminds me of my own Uncle Bob who owns the family farm in PA.
The first haul is gorgeously green. Red Russian Kale, Red Radishes, White Turnips, Two heads of lettuce, and a big bunch of bok choi. The site listed broccoli rabe as sometimes happens with CSA I got two heads of lettuce and no rabe. (No complaints here! The lettuce is lovely.)
A coworker who belonged last year said this farm produces a lot of leafy greens. I am excited for the salads of summer! First salad of the summer: lettuce, red pepper and thousand island with chick'n sliders and a couple of Alex's onion rings baked. I burnt my hand on the cast iron pan for those rings but they were almost worth the pain.
Breakfast got a dose of veggies as well.
Toasted English Muffin with lightly sautéed beet greens and a go veggie slice with spicy mayo.
I would post a picture but the go veggie slices don't melt very well and have a very plastic sheen to them. They were still tasty!
