Week of March 22

It seems like all we have growing on the farm this week is cabbage. It’s so easy to slice up really thin and stir fry up into noodles! I love cabbage, but even I’m in need of a little change. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of change this week. I guess it’s time to make due with kale this week while we patiently await sugar snap peas, strawberries and zucchini in the near future!!!! Luckily the greens are extremely beneficial to our health. Let me know what you end up doing with your kale. #somethinggoodorganics and show us your recipes on Instagram.
