Happy Wednesday! Here at VegHub HQ we’re getting ready for Easter weekend. If you do the Easter thing, we hope you have a happy one!
This week, I am super excited that we’re seeing the first GA fruit of 2012 – a full pound of strawberries! This week’s basket has 7 items instead of 8, so we can “get the gold” and bathe in beautiful, local strawberries. I’m sharing a recipe below that includes them, but let’s be honest: can you really put off eating them all right away to save them for a recipe? That never happens at my house!
We’ve got a gorgeous basket this week. Here’s what’s inside: Read the rest of this entry »

One of the awesome things about Vegetable Husband is that Margie’s philosophy is all about getting good, healthy food to the people. Many of the volunteers work in trade for a basket of their own, and many of us couldn’t otherwise afford such fresh, local, organic food. That’s why I was super excited to hear this week that three of our drivers have brand new jobs! Yay! Read on to find out who! Read the rest of this entry »

Wowie, was it a busy day at VegHub HQ today! I got to relive my veggie sorting days and help Brian and Tracy load up the baskets, and at 2:30, Steve Miller rolled in with sweet potatoes and spinach just as the first drivers arrived. Everyone pitched in, and those spring baskets busting with green are on their way to you.
What a day! You guys are going to love your baskets this week. They just scream SPRING! I’m planning some big salads and lots of green smoothies with these veggies. What’s cooking where you are? Read the rest of this entry »

Happy March, y’all! This week’s basket features greens, greens, greens! We’ve got spinach, lacinto kale, broccoli leaves with shoots, and microgreens. YUM! It was an unseasonably warm Febrary, and the beginning of March is following suit. That means we’re seeing some springtime veggies, like green onions and microgreens, a little bit earlier than usual right now. We’ll be seeing more of spring in our baskets in the next few weeks, I’m sure.
Margie just got back from a conference for women in agriculture, and she’s super jazzed about everything she learned there. On top of growing veggies, we might just be growing some new ideas at VegHub headquarters.
If you’re a little overwhelmed with all the greens this week, don’t you fret! Here are some recipes to cook them up right. Read the rest of this entry »

This week’s basket is green, green, green! I can’t wait to put that beautiful parsley into my morning green smoothies, and that bok choy and bunch of Brussels sprout greens are just begging to go into a tasty stir fry, aren’t they? On top of all those lovely greens, we’ve got summer squash this week and a pint of grape tomatoes from our friends in Florida. I told Laura Louise to look jazzed about these tomatoes, and she said she didn’t even have to act, because she was so excited about them! Read the rest of this entry »
