This Week ~ We’ve Got the Blues for You!
As promised, we have fresh blueberries for everyone this week! We’re super stoked to also offer yellow peaches and yellow nectarines. Oh my…the fruit salads, smoothies with fresh fruits and kale, along with the green alien looking ~ kohlrabi! Not everyone has tried kohlrabi, while it’s a little foreign looking, it’s taste is delicious and can be eaten raw or cooked. Kohlrabi when raw, has a flavor similar to raw cabbage with a slightly spicy kick like a radish or turnip. Be sure to check out this week’s paired recipes, they’re awesome!
Here’s a quick tip for ripening your fresh peaches and nectarines. Place them in a paper sack on your counter for a couple of days. This will encourage the sugar content to bring out the sweetness faster than refrigerating. Refrigerating actually slows down the ripening process.
We have white peaches and white nectarines arriving next week. We wish everyone a healthy, happy, fun filled week. Enjoy all the harvests our local farmers have for you this week!

Kohlrabi & Carrot Fritters with Crusted Cowboy Aoili
Kohlrabi also known as German turnips are versatile and surprisingly not main stream. It can be eaten raw or cooked. They improve digestive health. Fiber helps to move your bowels, reducing constipation, cramping and bloating, and generally improving the quality of your gastrointestinal system, while also maximizing your nutrient uptake efficiency. Which nowadays we can I use a little more of.
The high potassium content in this diverse vegetable make it a great addition to your diet to keep you alert, energetic, and in great shape! Purple vegetables like kohlrabi contain compounds called anthocyanins. Research suggests that anthocyanins may help protect cells, heal the body, decrease inflammation, and lower the risk of heart disease and cancer!
