Spinach Pepperoni Bread

Pepperoni, cheese, chewy crust, and...spinach. No one will even notice! But you'll love it, because you're grown up. And your tastes are set much higher than on a typical pizza roll. Whichever team wins, your belly will be content.

2025 Box #2

swiss chard

cousin to beet greens
(but without the beet)

Watch out, you're leaving un-charded territory. Chard is coming this week, full of lively color to brighten up your winter. It IS in the beet family, known by names silver beet and beet spinach, but does not have the BEET part. Swiss chard's vibrant leaves and stalks make up for it missing a beet.

GREENS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU IN 2025

2025 Box #1

more greens for the New Year

is just dandy


Dandelion greens from Bradwood Farm are on their way to you this week! Although they can be a little bitter, know that they serve a purpose! Bitter greens release stomach acid and aid in digestion (along with helping with detox after rich holiday fare) and also provide a flavorful edge to sometimes bland dishes like beans or pasta. Balance out any bitterness with a sweet tangy pizza sauce and goat cheese, as in the dandelion greens pizza recipe below, or reverse it naturally by soaking greens for 10 minutes in salty water, or by boiling them two minutes in salted water then removing quickly.

Happy 2025 from YB! See what's NEW in the store HERE.

Check out our featured vendor, NOOMA, and their amazing sports drinks, here!

In your farm share featuring DANDELION GREENS, your box is PACKED with local produce like rainbow carrots, granny smith apples, Ruby Red grapefruits, spinach, mandarin oranges, Kennebec white potatoes, and hydro head lettuce.

GREENS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU IN 2025

Dandelion Greens Pizza

Don't be intimidated by dandy greens--put 'em on your pizza! Any hint of bitterness can be offset by sauteing first, or just have the sweet tangy sauce and goat cheese be the counterbalance! With this effortless way to get more greens, how much fun are New Year's resolutions??
