Escarole:

Escarole is one of the milder, slightly sweeter members of the chicory family. It has a gentle bitterness that softens when cooked, becoming tender and savory. It also holds up well to braising, sautéing, roasting, and simmering. Escarole can be eaten raw in salads, and it pairs especially well with fat, salt, and acidity. It also works great in soups, stews, pasta, risotto, or cooked with beans.

Yellow Finn Potatoes:

Yellow Finn potatoes are beloved for their rich, buttery-sweet flavor and moist, creamy texture. Slightly sweeter than Yukon Gold, they have just enough waxiness to hold their shape while still mashing beautifully. These “flaky starch nuggets” excel in dishes where their ability to absorb flavor really shines. They’re ideal for french fries, roasting, scalloped potatoes, and potato soups. They perform equally well boiled, fried, baked, or mashed. Their firm yet tender texture also makes them a great choice for potato salads.

Red Carrots:

Red carrots don’t differ much from orange carrots when it comes to taste. They’re mildly sweet, earthy, and crisp with a slightly deeper, richer flavor. They can be eaten raw for snacking or sliced into salads. They also work well roasted, braised, or glazed.

Washington Navel Oranges:

These Washington Navel oranges come from Blue Heron Farm in Rumsey, about 6 miles up the road from us. They’re CCOF-certified organic and will be a feature in our veggie boxes for the next few weeks or so. They have a bright, sweet citrus flavor that’s juicy and refreshing. Seedless and easy to peel, they’re great for juicing, slicing, or eating by the section. Want to add them to your next order? Order through our webstore at least 2 days before delivery!

Dino Kale:

Before everyone knew it as Dino kale, Riverdog Tim first heard of it from a chef who brought the seed over with the name Cavolo Nero- Italian for “black cabbage.” Dino kale is an heirloom variety with long, dark blue-green leaves and a bumpy texture that’s said to look a bit like dinosaur skin (hence the name). It has a mild, earthy flavor with a slightly sweet, tangy finish. Less bitter than other kale varieties. Dino kale holds up really well in cooking, making it great for steaming, stir-frying, soups, and stews. It also works in salads, smoothies, or even juicing.

Green Cabbage:

Green cabbage is crisp and crunchy when raw with a mildly peppery, slightly sweet flavor. Once cooked, it softens and takes on a mellow, earthy taste. It’s super versatile! You can bake, sauté it, pickle it, toss it into salads and slaws, or add it to soups, stews, and stir-fries. Besides being easy to cook with, cabbage is also nutrient-packed, offering lots of vitamin C, vitamin K, and plenty of fiber.

Broccoli:

Broccoli with the greens!  The entire plant is edible, including the stalks and leaves. Broccoli has a crisp texture when raw and becomes tender when cooked, with a flavor that is slightly bitter and earthy, yet mild and nutty. Perfect for roasting, sautéing, baking, or simply steaming. Broccoli makes a delicious, nutrient-dense addition to any raw veggie platter and doubles as a cozy, roasted side when tossed with herbs and a splash of olive oil! The outside caramelizes just a bit and the core is still crunchy if you nail it right.
