Spring is here! While most CSA subscribers in the region do not start receiving their weekly bounty until the beginning of June, Star Hollow Farm started this weekend. As a Star Hollow Farm CSA member, every Wednesday from the beginning of April through end of December I will be able to order a weekly CSA harvest box and additional a la carte items (produce and dairy).

Here’s what was in my April 3, 2010 harvest box:

Baby Mizuna (a variety of Japanese mustard, usually served raw in salad mix)

Claytonia (aka miner’s lettuce that grows wild in California, usually served raw in a salad)

Mixed Carrots (yellow, orange and purple varieties)

Parsnips

Onions

Bibb Lettuce

Romaine Lettuce

Fingerling Potatoes

Granny Smith, Golden Delicious & Honey Crisp Apples

I also ordered:

Tuscarora Mesclun

Garlic Greens

Chives

Dill

beets, bibb lettuce, garlic, orange, pink beets, raspberry vinegar, red beets, red-tinged lolla rose lettuce, white beets

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 lbs small beets (red, pink, or golden – or a variety)*, washed well with skins
  • 1 large head of green or red lettuce (such as Bibb & Red-Tinged Lolla Rose Lettuce)*, torn into pieces and rinsed and drained well with a salad spinner
  • 1 medium orange, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp raspberry vinegar (or freshly squeezed lemon juice or high quality bottled lemon juice such as Santa Cruz)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 small to medium garlic clove, minced*
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper, divided

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F. Place the beets into an 8X8 inch baking dish. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss to coat. Cover with foil and roast for 60-70 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife or fork. Remove from the oven, uncover and let cool. When cool enough to handle, rub off (or peel off) skins with your hands or a knife. Cut into 1/4-inch thick slices and cut the slices in fours or eights. Transfer the beets to a large bowl.
  2. Combine 3 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp raspberry vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, and garlic in a small class container with tight fitting lid (such as an old jam or jelly container). Shake until well combined.
  3. Combine lettuce, orange and beet pieces in a large bowl. And evenly toss with about 2-3 tbsp of the salad dressing.

I picked up my Star Hollow Farm CSA share today. What a beautiful variety of produce…and all for $42.65! I haven’t exactly figured out what to do with my bounty, but I’m excited. Perhaps I’ll make some roasted vegetables, butternut squash soup and risotto.
 
HARVEST BOX
 
Gold, Red, Purple & Orange Carrots and Parsnips
 
 
Bibb & Red-Tinged Lolla Rose Lettuce and Yellow Onions
 
 
Claytonia
Claytonia (the green leaves on the left side of the picture) are also known as miner’s lettuce. According to Star Hollow Farm, this delicate lettuce is originally from California and takes its common name from the 49ers who found it growing wild and used it as a fresh salad green.
 
Microgreens
Greenhouse-grown Asian greens (pictured below) are  harvested with the seed leaves (the cotyledons) and the first true leaves.

Mixed Beets & Butternut Squash


LaRatte Fingerling Potatoes and Atlantic White Potatoes
LaRatte fingerling potatoes (pictured up close in the image below) are a French variety of fingerling potatoes that are moist, flavorful, and easy to prepare. According to Star Hollow Farm they are good roasted whole, or sliced and sautéed with onions. Atlantic white potatoes (pictured in the back right of the image below) are good fried, roasted, or mashed.

Pink Lady and Red Delicious Apples

 
ADDITIONAL ITEMS

Hardneck Garlic

 
Whispering Brook Farm Sharp Cheddar Cheese & Free-Roaming, Pastured Hen Brown
Eggs
