Our CSA members took home Celeriac yesterday: Here's some more info about it and a bunch of recipes. I look forward to trying Celeriac Schnitzel! https://www.chatelaine.com//kitchen/celeriac-celery-root/

Happy Halloween! May the Great Pumpkin visit you this year If you need some shoots to scare away the spooks (or balance out those treats), head over to Chez Angela Bakery and Café!!

Closed for holidaysssss! We're taking Christmas and January off as we always do to rest & recharge. If you need to be in touch please email me at [email protected]... Thank you for supporting our farm this season! Wishing your family Happy Holidays and a Joyful New Year, see you in February! Byeeeeee!!!!

Final veggie pickup of 2020 today, with the added FUN of a location change due to the predicted storm! Kicking Assparagus Crew members please check your email for all the details! And one more thing: THANK YOU!... "Growing food for people" is how I describe what I do. I don’t say I’m a farmer or grower or market gardener. Growing food for people more accurately captures what is actually going on here. Inherent in it is the connection to our community, and the energy that goes into maintaining that connection. We are deeply connected to the food that we grow and we’re picky about who we share it with: You’re our people. At this point, the CSA feels like a big group of family that we share food with. Despite decreased opportunities to connect in real life, and only seeing half of your faces, it really feels like our CSA relationships doubled down in connection this year. It's the thing I'm most grateful for in 2020! So thank you for connecting with us this year. Couldn't do it without you!!

Oh, Shoot! One week left to stop in to @_chez_angela_ for some of these fresh microgreens: They're open on Christmas Eve until sell out. Every year we take 5-6 weeks off during Christmas and January. This year we're staying on the farm which is no big hardship as it's our favourite place in the world. ... Probably WON'T spend Boxing Day at the beach this year (though Lake Wahtopanah beach is only 5 mins away!)! I have a huge stack of library books and many projects I'm looking forward to diving into. I love every season on the farm, the slow restful pace of winter is juxtaposed by the full-on all-consuming summers when we live outdoors tending the crops. In the winter I just want to stay inside and make (& eat!) soup. The shoots will be back in February and I'll keep you posted! #microgreens #shoots #eatlocal #supportlocal #knowyourfarmer

Week 24! #veggieloversclub Our final pickup week for Team Laughing Stalks in our 2020 Community Shared Agriculture program! This bag’s bursting with winter staples: potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, shoots and squash! ... Kicking Assparagus Crew picks up these contents next week, and then it’s Farmer Vacation Time! #communitysharedagriculture #knowyourfarmer #community #eatlocal

Popcorn Shoots! Strong opinions on this one, people either love 'em or hate 'em! I'm of the latter group. ... These are intensely sweet with a corn flavour and they're grown in the dark so they stay tender and bright yellow! Great as a taco topping, with spicy curries, or on top of corn chowder. Mmm... Now I'm craving corn chowder!! Find 'em as part of the Shoots Medley clamshells for sale in @_chez_angela_ !!

We're better at growing beets than we are at eating them around here. My friend Kara shared this recipe for Beetroot Masala Dahl which was an instant hit! I like to double or triple the recipe and serve it with pakoras or another curry and turmeric rice and fresh shoots of course! ... I don't know what coconut cream is so I subbed coconut milk the first time and water the second as I was out: It was great both ways. For a more detailed method with photos, visit https://www.kindearth.net/beetroot-masala-dahl-with-leeks-/ where the recipe is from. Reheats well, and the spices mellow out that earthy beet flavour. A winner, so I just added or to our website, where all my favourite recipes live: https://brownsugarproduce.wordpress.com/recipes/ Shoots are in stock at Chez Angela Bakery and Café #beets #beetrootmasaladahl #dahl #eatyobeets #microgreens #turmericrice #peashoots
