Dear Vegetable Husband Customer,

This week Serenbe farms harvested more sunchokes for us, although the supply is quickly coming to an end. Don’t get spoiled with the beautiful carrots every week. I know that one day soon, these too will be gone. For now, we have the bright orange carrots from Roots Farm. And speaking of orange, since we are borrowing food from our Florida neighbors, I thought why not enjoy a couple of tangerines! Let me know what you think of always borrowing one fruit item from Florida if nothing is available in Georgia. We have significant fig and berry seasons but that is about it for our year here. If you would like me to always include a fruit for you, even if it means stretching the parameters, please email me and I will buy a nice serving next time.

Our cooking green this week is beautiful cabbage from North Carolina and collards from Florida. Our farms here in this area hope to have lettuce and cooking greens again if we can get a few days of sun! The food needs sun as much or more then we do.

This week I had planned to have our beautiful basil again but they did not have anymore right now. Instead we have GA grown lettuce and it looks spectacular. Avocado, lettuce, tomato…I’m thinking SALAD! Easy and delish! You can even add some sunchokes, and by the way, you do not have to peel the sunchokes. They are fine to just wash and eat.  Below is your list of goodies:

Sunchokes / Jerusalem artichokes

Carrots

Grape tomatoes

Cabbage

Avocado

Baby lettuce

Collards

Tangerines

Last week I mentioned gathering items for a Haitian relief effort. Thanks for your inquiries. I will give you all a detailed email as soon as I get a list of items needed and schedule the pick-ups. Have a beautiful week and remember I am always happy to TALK FOOD!
