Twenty Bag | Mar 20

In the Mar 20 Twenty Bag: Curly kale, Rainbow carrots, Red Butterhead lettuce, cilantro, Bloomsdale spinach, Watermelon and Purple Bravo radish, broccolini, baby leeks.

Thank you Harleston Towles and Rooting Down Farms!

With the wealth of cool weather loving kale coming from the farm, celebrate it either simply, with an easy saute and a sprinkling of fresh garlic, or if you have some time, with this hearty dish that serves as a meal. White beans, Pecorino Romano and a few ingredients already in your pantry make the magic happen.

A quick search of sweetgrass + grits will take you to plenty more recipes—all curated with an eye toward the weekly Twenty Bag harvest.

Harleston’s storage tips: If greens or herbs of any kind begin to wilt at any point or at pick up, put them in a big bowl of ice water for 20-30 minutes.  Almost all produce is washed and should go in the refrigerator. Remove carrot and radish tops upon receiving bag.  Root crops can hold in the fridge in a plastic bag for at least a month or two.  Kale, lettuce, cilantro, broccolini, and leeks can all go in a plastic bag of sorts to retain leaf moisture.  Spinach can stay in it's plastic bag.
