Crop List: Cosmic Mix, Spicy Mix, Arugula, Pea Shoots, Baby Kale and Baby Garlic

Hello! Welcome! We hope you are ready for some seriously tasty green things. Food like you have not been able to eat all winter. Fresh, Teton grown goodness. The crew was working very hard on Monday morning to begin our harvest season. By lunch time, it paid off. We ate a meal of just harvested Spicy mix, baby kale and pea shoots. I felt so incredibly blessed to be eating food that tasted alive again, greens that have texture and flavor.
It has been a cool, wet spring...a more normal Spring in the Tetons. The garden is planted and poised to take off. We have so much planted for you this year. Thank you for joining us to share this year's harvest. As many of you returning CSA members know, we will start off with lots of light leafy green things. The shares will get bigger and heavier as the season progresses. This time of year is nature's way of telling us to lighten up after a winter of heavy eating. I think of all the salad this time of year as a palate cleanser for the upcoming abundance. It's a way to re-set our digestion before eating the more complex combinations the garden will eventually yield. Our plates are green and the hills are green! The season of hope is upon us. May the dreams you plant this spring come to fruition.

In other news...maybe you heard? Teton Pass is closed. So sorry to break that news to you! We are planning to keep the same pick up times. Our volunteers are pitching in extra so we can reroute the truck through Jackson and then to Wilson. We are harvesting a bit earlier so we can get the truck on the road earlier. And currently our drivers (Jed and Dale for the month of June!) are happy we still have a way in and out of Jackson. We are grateful to everyone for being gracious to each other as we all navigate this new situation. The outpouring of support for commuters has been beautiful to witness. We currently have our fingers crossed that when the temporary re-route is opened our truck will meet the criteria to drive the pass again. Until then...the spirit of Mountain Folk will prevail! The steadfast ability to get things done while watching out for one another. 

Use your baby garlic like a leek. Cut the roots off and chop the stalk until it turns into leaves.
Lunch this Week: Spicy Mix, Rice, Ground Beef, Pea Shoots with Peanut-coconut sauce.
Recipe Ideas: Italian Arugula Salad, The Ultimate Dressing, Emily's Overnight Kale Salad​
