Area 2 Farms Local Organic Harvest for the Week of July 17th 2023

Peas Please Greens Mix

Pea shoots and mixed greens blend perfectly in this sweet, hydrating specialty mix. Bright, layered flavors and immunity-boosting vitamins create seasonal craft salads with zesty dressings, chilled berries, and goat cheese. Add this week’s purple shamrock to a salad for an infusion of citrus flavor, or use these greens in a smoothie or pesto.

Red Cabbage Microgreens

These delightful farm favorites are even healthier than they are colorful! Red cabbage microgreens are a major superfood, containing nutrients like electrolytes and fiber. Our farming experts recommended using these to add color and flavor to summer dips, tacos, or sprinkled atop grilled veggies and meats. We use nutrient-enriched soil to thoughtfully grow these healthy micros! 

Mojito Mint

It’s summertime, and the livin’ is tasty! Make some time for a refreshing mojito mint cocktail or mocktail, with refreshing mint grown at your neighborhood farm. Fantastic to freshen breath or help a headache, this cool mint is delicious in drinks, crisps up chocolate, and adds taste to iced tea. We love to add it to an ice cube tray for a minty beverage infusion.

Leeks

Add some flavor to everything from grill baskets to breakfasts with these versatile veggies. Leeks have anti-inflammatory flavonoids and can be added to kebabs, roasted in stir fry, diced into pasta sauce or taco fillings, and folded into omelets or breakfast quiches. Our Arlington, VA farm-grown leeks will bring out the flavor of cheeses and dairy-based dips and sauces.

Purple Shamrock

Purple shamrock is a delicate, velvety, heart-shaped edible plant called oxalis with a tangy citrus flavor. The plant contains oxalic acid, which can be a digestion aid. This locally grown medicinal produce adds taste to smoothies, brightens up a salad, and adds a flourish to meat dishes and cream-based pastas.
