New Cooking Fairy

Celery Greens? Yep! It's a swirly world up here at Red Clover. If you were lucky enough to get any of our oddities this week (like cabbage greens), don't worry if you dont know what to do with them - we have The Cooking Fairy on our team!

Truth is, since I have been recovering at home for the last few weeks, our fields havent gotten the best attention. The soil ph levels were a little off and lacking Nitrogen in some of our fields, so some of our veggies became stunted. Instead of just scrapping them, I decided to do some research on if anything was edible. Why yes indeed! Not only are they edible, they are actually really good for you and loaded with vitamins and antioxidents!

So I contacted The Cooking Fairy immediately, and with a wave of her wooden spoon, "poof"...Celery Green Pesto. How cool is that? It's something fancy folks would eat, and would be served in small portions in SoHo.

So give things a whirl this week, you never know what you will like! Strawberries unfortunately had a very short season this year and could not be offered this week..but next week we should have lots of blueberries ready for the pickin.

Enjoy,
