Area 2 Farms Local Organic Harvest for the Week of June 12 2023
Red Romaine
Major classic salad vibes are here to usher in the new season of crops with this sweet and crunchy red romaine. With a dose of electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, this fresh harvest is good for your heart and blood pressure.
Our farming experts love this in a salad, or even lightly grilled. Add to a sandwich for extra texture and a hydrating crunch, or use as a fresh filling for tacos. We have moved the farm to your neighborhood to bring just-harvested, seasonal produce that doesn’t have to travel far to get to your plate!
Arugula Microgreens
Arugula microgreens are your peppery, super-nutritious superfood! Useful everywhere from early morning omelets to fine dining experiences, these crispy micros add texture to spicy dishes, salads, smoothies, and can even enhance Italian entreés. These micros have antioxidants that fight aging, vitamin K for bone health, and other essential nutrients and vitamins.
Arugula microgreens are the definition of medicinal local food. They’re expertly grown by our farmers near your home, harvested and delivered to you within 24 hours, and arrive at your door at their peak nutritional value.
Mint
Marvelous mint! This aromatic herb with the distinct and timeless flavor is more than a tea and summer cocktail ingredient — although it’s great as these things, too! Mint is mood-boosting, anti-inflammatory respiratory health food that can also defang a migraine. What can’t mint do!?
Our farming experts harvested your mint on Tuesday, and suggest you pair it with summer fruits like watermelon, add atop desserts like chocolate gelato, mix with berries and yogurt, or add to a cucumber-based salad. Double the cleansing feeling by pairing it with parsley in this week’s harvest. Enjoy the cooling flavor during this warm week!
Hakurei Turnips
Our Hakurei turnips put the “root” in “We have roots, not routes”! These salad turnips bring warmth and snappy flavor, turning any dish up to 11. Perfect in a stir fry or shaved into a red romaine salad, these pair well with arugula microgreens.
Power-packed with essential minerals and vitamin C, you will deflect a summer cold with these. Our farming experts grow these flavor-forward turnips in our nutrient-enriched, recycled waste soil. Turnips from the grocery store aren’t grown in these expert conditions, and they’re certainly not harvested within hours of your purchase!
Parsley
Pesto and t’s oiled, anyone? Parsley is a medicinal herb that can improve digestion and help stimulate menstruation. Savory foods with olive oil are balanced with this cleansing herb, and it tastes great with lemon, garlic, meats, pine nuts, and nightshades. Expand the cooling clean feelings by pairing it with the mint in your harvest delivery.
This Week’s Harvest
This Week’s Harvest is a one-time purchase to taste the season's goodness. It includes vibrant greens, fragrant herbs, crisp microgreens, and hearty root vegetables, all freshly harvested and delivered to your front door.
Taste This Week’s Harvest for yourself, and then let us know your thoughts. Or, come by for a tour. We are always eager to meet the families we feed and to show off exactly where our food came from.
And we can do so all season long.
