🥬 Featured Veggie of the Day: KALE! 🥬
Fall is kale season — cooler weather makes the leaves sweeter and more tender, and we’ve got three beautiful varieties ready for you:
• Curly kale – the classic for salads & sautéing
• Red Russian – tender leaves, great for soups & braising
• Lacinato (Dinosaur) – perfect for pastas, soups, and kale chips
Why eat kale?
Kale is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, rich in antioxidants, supports immune health, and has anti-inflammatory benefits — a powerhouse green for your fall meals!
How to use it:
– Massage raw leaves for salads
– Add to soups & stews
– Toss into smoothies
– Roast into crispy kale chips
– Stir into pasta, eggs, or grain bowls
Come grab a bunch (or three!) today at our farm market and taste how sweet fall kale can be! 🍂👩🌾🥬
I know it seems late, but we’re still picking red raspberries! You can find these in our market or place an order on the online blair_markets before 11 pm tonight. Very sweet indeed 😋!
Our fall featured vegetable of the day is winter radish! We harvested a bed of these this past week. Four different varieties - Watermelon, Blue moon, Redmoon and Alpine.
So what do you do with this veggie? Winter radishes are crunchy and a tad milder than the smaller spring radish. They will keep for months in cold storage (you can stock up now!). They are delightfully crunchy in salads, either grated or sliced, and you can cook with them. They are very yummy roasted or braised. Mix them with other veggies (think peppers, onions, butternut, potatoes, turnips, carrots and any root veggie), toss with olive oil, add some Rosemary and Thyme and roast. Delicious, nutritious and also beautiful - check out the pic below of the sliced Watermelon radish. If you’ve never had them, you’ve got to try them!
Some vegetables like it chilly 🥶! Fall is a great growing season for lettuces, spinach, kohlrabi, winter radishes, arugula, salad turnips, beets, turnips, kale, endive, celery, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, parsley, dill, cilantro, thyme and Swiss chard.
We’ll have all of these veggies plus a whole lot more at Altoona Farmers Market on Thursday from 11-2. Our on-farm market is stocked as well! Open daily 9-7.
