Wk 41 Produce
The produce keeps coming! The warmer weather through the holiday week helped keep those vegetables growing in their hoop/green houses. Lettuce in January is very rare for us but it's here this week.
|
|
We know we have climate change to thank for this, so we're celebrating somberly...

Squash and Carrot Stew
|
|
|
This recipe calls for butternut squash, but we think it is equally good with sweet potatoes. We made a few other adaptions from the original to incorporate a few Fair Shares items and a little more heat… Read more

💥 Pop Quiz 💥
There are so many details to remember when you start at Fair Shares, and also, policies change over time, and it's not always easy to remember everything, so here's a reminder. Don't worry, we're providing the answers for new members and for those who may have forgotten!

Pop Quiz - Vegetable Storage Answers:
|
|
1) True - Cutting the tops off root vegetables and storing them separately (even in the same bag) makes the greens and the roots last longer because they can no longer compete for moisture.
|
|
2) True - The green produce bags are compostable and not plastic, but not all produce lasts very long in them.
|
|
3) True - Mushrooms stored in the middle back of the refrigerator will often dry nicely if ignored (then you can rehydrated them to use).
|
|
4) True - Mushrooms stored in the produce drawer tend to mold quickly, too moist in there. Yes moist!
|
5) True - Sweet potatoes should not be stored below 55 degrees F.

Mature arugula, which is what we commonly see in the winter months, may be a bit peppery for the tastes of some to eat raw. Sautéed in a little olive oil with garlic and sea salt makes a delicious way to tone down the spice, or toss it with a pasta or as a pizza topping.
