Crop List: Cosmic Mix, Spicy Mix, Arugula, Basil and Chives

Yay!!! We are back! With veggies for the People of the Tetons! Welcome. We are glad you are here and ready to wake up your taste buds. Remember what fresh things taste like? I think I forget every year. It might be phycological so I am not so sad all winter. Fresh tender greens sure do make me feel alive, grateful and excited to eat again. The first taste of them every spring is celebration inducing!
This spring weather has been a wild ride. Temps in the 60's in March had us all prematurely excited and then May returned for a normal run with  A LOT of nights below freezing. We did not loose any plants, but the things we had in the garden paused their growth. We've been waiting and watching...with a bit of coaxing. Making the call to start the CSA was trickier then usual this year, the cool wet weather in the middle of this week will slow everything down again. 
We wanted to start because if we waited the Spicy Mix would have been overripe and wasted. Right now it's perfect and was our motivating factor. The shares always start light and green. Many more things are coming and the shares will get progressively bigger as the season goes on!
We hope as the season progresses your kitchen creativity is sparked and you savor eating food with real flavor and nutrition.
​Each week I'll share a couple ideas of how I like to use what's in season. Please explore our recipe page if you need inspiration! Also, when at the pick ups, if you are not sure how to use something, ask the site host or the person next to you in line. Our CSA members LOVE to share cooking tips and ideas. I have learned so much from you all!

Recipe ideas: Lemony Chive Basil Vinaigrette; Italian Arugula Salad; I love the spicy mix on top of a burger. My other favorite is to put my morning eggs on top of a plate of spicy mix with a little bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar drizzle.
Chives-use the whole green stem and the purple flower!
