Garlic Scapes for Everyone

Garlic scapes for everyone

Your box includes a bag of garlic scapes, courtesy of Great Lakes Garlic farm.
Everyone’s box includes a bag of frozen garlic scapes this week.  This tasty, under-appreciated vegetable is the young flower shoot from a garlic plant.  The scape gets harvested in June to concentrate the plant’s growth on the bulb.  Use it like a scallion or mild garlic.  We enjoy them chopped in scrambled eggs, minced in pesto, or soaked in olive oil.  Look for Kevin and Tiffany at www.greatlakesgarlicfarm.com or at the Sarah Hardy farmers’ market.

The freezer is stocked with your boxes … deliciousness awaits.  We had a calendar mix-up with our dairy farmer friend and your milk won’t be delivered until next Tuesday.  Our apologies.   Feel free to wait until after then to pick up your meat and milk, or stop by twice.

Tasty Bits dinner

Join us on the farm for a dinner celebrating the forgotten parts of the common animals we all eat.  Tuesday, July 12, 6-8pm.  The menu includes roasted rooster, lamb head tacos, pickled beef tongue and heart, and spicy pig liver.  Excellent flavor and health benefits hide in these overlooked parts.  If you are willing to trying something new, we doubt you will be disappointed!  $10/person.  Feel free to invite friends.   We will limit the event to 12 people.
