First Week of Our Fall Harvest Season
Lettuce Mix
Lovely lettuces make a balanced farm-to-table mix that’s perfect for any meal or weather. For a warm day, cool off with a light salad blend by adding microgreens, tomatoes, and crisp vegetables. Light dressing and citrus zests further energize this antioxidant rich blend. For a warm meal, use with chia seeds, faro, quinoa, or lightly stir wilt over heat.
Sunflower Shoots
Bask in the sun-nies while the seasons change! Sunflower shoots blend earthy smoothness with a bright and nutty flavor. Hydrate and fortify your immune system with these fiber-rich sunnies. Blend into a salad with this week’s lettuce and tomatoes, use as a taco filling, or incorporate into an omelette. Sunnies are delicious as a snack and mixed into dips. Learn even more in our crop guide.
Parsley
Parsley is a medicinal herb, grown locally at our Arlington, VA farm. This fresh, bright tasting herb is a culinary classic, perfect for adding light to many dishes, spreads, and sauces. Pair it with savory flavors like garlic, meats, and mushrooms. Parsley pairs well with breezy dishes like lemon chicken and fish. Parsley has long been used to stimulate menstruation and help with digestion.
Tomatoes
Fortify your fall palette with mouth-watering tomatoes, the juicy, crunchy brain food that works with most meals. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze, basil, and add mozzarella to make a caprese salad. The MVP of pizza, pasta, salads, and sandwiches, our farm’s tomatoes are a community favorite!
Purple Shamrock
Oh my oxalis, it’s your lucky day! Purple shamrock (oxalis) is a delicate, velvety edible plant with a tangy citrus flavor. Grown at your neighborhood farm, the plant contains oxalic acid, which can be a digestion aid. Add taste to smoothies, brighten up a salad, and add a flourish to meat dishes and cream-based pastas.
