Area 2 Farms Local Organic Harvest for the Week of June 26 2023

Beet the Heat Mix

Beet the heat with a cooling spring mix containing beet greens for added flavor and texture. This blend has a refreshing, cooling crunch, and the beet greens add a touch of sweetness and earth. Eat raw as a salad or wilt over quinoa, grilled meats, or rice. This bombshell blend has the nutrients needed to fight summer sniffles!

Broccoli Microgreens

Broccoli microgreens are bright and earthy. They make for great snacks when eaten raw. Their nutrients boost metabolism and serotonin. These crunchy farm favorites make a romaine-based salad shine, and our farming experts add them to club sandwiches and veggie boards. Sprinkle on top of grilled meats for an added summer flavor dimension. We love to deliver these healthy, delicious dynamos — and we’ve moved the farm closer to you, so your microgreens are harvested in your community. 

Radish Microgreens

Spice up your life this week with radish microgreens! These peppery, purple-y plants are freshly harvested and ready to enjoy, and can be stored in the refrigerator for about one week after delivery. Add the perfect amount of crunch and flavor to any lunch sandwich or wrap, or mix these in with shredded cheese that you’d add to any salad or dish. Our farming experts recommend including them with grilled summer veggies and atop meat dishes. These locally grown microgreens have anti-inflammatory properties and boost digestion!

Parsley 

Parsley is a medicinal herb grown locally at our Arlington, VA farm. This fresh, bright tasting herb is a culinary classic, perfecting for adding light to many summer dishes. Pair it with savory flavors like garlic, meats, and mushrooms. It brightens up a taco as a topping, and pairs well with breezy dishes like lemon chicken. Parsley has long been used to stimulate menstruation and help with digestion.  

Oyster Mushrooms

These delicate oyster mushrooms are a lot of fun(gi)! Mild flavor and tender texture make these perfect to sautée with olive oil. Pair with savory herbs and a marinade to roast or put on the grill. Used medicinally, oyster mushrooms fortify the immune system and add fiber. Perfect for pasta sauces and as a topper for meats. Our farming experts teamed up with Won Shan Farms of Catlett, VA to bring you these fancy fungi.
