Shipki Farm Organics

Our first CSA box of the 2010 season: French breakfast and easter egg radishes, spinach, joi choi, salad mix (minutina, radish thinnings, sunflower sprouts, lemon balm, baby heirloom lettuces), herb bundle (parsley, chive flowers, crinkle cress, chervil, sage, oregano, rosemary), green onions, heirloom and buttercrisp head lettuces, Siberian kale, and broccolini

Our two female bunnies gave birth on Easter to ten babies. Brown Ears has two giant black/gray bunnies and Black Ears has eight, some black-and-white spotted, and others gray. These little things don’t have their eyes open yet, but they are squirming around in their nesting boxes keeping their moms busy nursing. The proud Papa Romeo has created some giants!

Storing Endive is fragile and will keep for only a few days in a cool place or in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator.

Chervil is used for its digestive, depurative, diuretic and stimulant qualities.

Ahh, the blessing of the rains and the warmth of the sun. All the plants are sighing in relief and unfurling new growth. And the surprise of abundant growth! We have carrots…we have peas… both snow peas and the beginning of sugar snap…wow – we have beets!
