Rooted in the Season, Grown for You! 

Hello SLO Veg Family! 🌽💚

We’ve got some fresh faces in the harvest box and on the team this week! As the days grow shorter, our local fields are slowing their pace — fewer daylight hours mean vegetables take their time soaking up that last bit of sunshine before harvest. Growth may be slower, but the payoff is flavor-packed produce at its peak.

This week’s box features first harvest Fall sweet corn on the cob, perfect for a quick grill or roast in the husk — try brushing it with olive oil, garlic, and a sprinkle of chili-lime seasoning for a little kick. You’ll also find first harvest tender red leaf lettuce, ideal for hearty fall salads, fresh red and gold beets that roast up beautifully for earthy-sweet sides, and a new crop of Blue Lake green beans — crisp, vibrant, and delicious whether steamed with butter and herbs or tossed in a simple sauté with garlic and almonds.

In the kitchen this week, try pairing your produce like this:

🥗 Roasted Beet & Red Leaf Salad with goat cheese and toasted walnuts.

🍽️ Garlic Green Beans & Corn Skillet — a colorful, quick side for any dinner.

🌽 Street-Style Corn Salad with diced peppers, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

And behind the scenes, there’s even more to celebrate — we’re welcoming new team members to SLO Veg! Our in-house box assemblers and new delivery drivers are busy training to make sure every order is packed with care and delivered with a smile. We’re grateful for their energy and enthusiasm as we continue to grow together.

Thank you for being part of our local food community — your support keeps our farmers thriving and our small team growing strong. 💚

See you on your delivery day!

Warm regards, Rachael & SLO Veg Team
