Dear Vegetable Husband Customer,

Thank you to everyone that gave such thoughtful feedback on the website.  It is coming along nicely thanks to your added input.  Tomorrow you will see this week’s sweet onion pie recipe added to the “Spring” section and I hope you try it … you have plenty of beautiful sweet Georgia onions this week!  Our patience paid off.  These onions could be eaten raw with ease.   Kim, our farmer at Sundance Farms, said her 9-year-old daughter eats them for snacks.  Wow!

If any of you have any questions regarding the website, please don’t hesitate to email or call.  We will still be working on it quite a bit so things will be changing.

You have sorrel again this week so for those of you that are new, this will be a tart delight.  A salad green that taste like lemons or limes is such an easy food to use.  Chop it up fine and use in fresh salads or sprinkle over cooked dishes for a little zest.   We are lucky enough to enjoy another harvest of Rashid’s carrots.  These are so good!  He was thrilled to hear all the comments you had.  It really helps the farmers keep going when they know how much their food is appreciated.

We have several new folks joining us this week so I hope you enjoy your spring bounty straight from your neighboring organic farmers.  Most of your food was harvested this morning.  If you don’t know which is which, don’t feel alone.  Sometimes I eat beans that should be shelled and shell ones that could be eaten so just ask.  Smiles to all!

Below is your list of goodies for this week:

Mixed salad
sorrel
arugula
Carrots
Beets
parsley
garlic
onions

I tasted the cucumbers from the field this morning so it is only a matter of a couple of weeks before we have a completely different diet of veggies.  I am looking for our first taste of summer fruit too.  Have a great week and remember, I am always happy to TALK FOOD!

Namaste,
Margie Thorpe
