Hello, SLO Veg Family! Spring is unfolding beautifully, with light rains still refreshing our fields and bringing the first tender greens of the season. As we look ahead to Easter, the harvest is bursting with crisp lettuces, vibrant radishes, and sweet, juicy fruit—just in time for fresh springtime meals and celebrations.

Monterey strawberries are stealing the show, joining peak citrus like Cara Cara and Blood Oranges for a burst of bright, seasonal sweetness. Whether you’re slicing them into salads, blending them into smoothies, or enjoying them au natural, these fruits are a true taste of spring. And for a crisp, refreshing crunch, Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith apples are here to round out the mix.

On the veggie side, the first lettuces of the season are tender and perfect for fresh, colorful salads. Icicle radishes add a spicy, delicate bite, while earthy beets bring their signature richness to roasted dishes and vibrant side plates. Celery remains a go-to for crisp snacking and flavor-packed soups—because let’s be honest, it makes everything better.

With Easter just around the corner and the fields waking up with new life, it’s the perfect time to embrace fresh flavors and savor the beauty of the season. Thank you for supporting local farms and for bringing these nourishing harvests to your table. Here’s to spring rains, bright flavors, and delicious gatherings ahead! 🌸🥕🍊🥬

Kindest regards,  Rachael and team
