B Sprouts...aka Tiny Cabbages...aka The Mussels from Brussels
They are going to start to make there way through our boxes over the next couple of weeks and they are super easy to fix because it’s almost impossible to mess them up. Cut them into halves or quarters (depending on how big they are), and drizzle them with oil, salt, and pepper. You can either DROP them in a hot pan or DROP them in a glass pan and put in the oven...just don’t DROP them on the floor.
A note on Tokyo Bekana: https://happyfood-funnyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/01/tokyo-bekana-step-above-lettuce.html
We are beginning to get our act together with our online store, and as part of that process we have highlighting our vendors on a week to week basis. We will run promo’s, contests, and all the while trying to drive people to our online store to buy their wares. This week we are focusing on Lopaus Point Gluten FREE Frozen Waffles. They are fab and can be purchased here

Barlett Pears
Storage:
If the pears are not ripe, store at room temperature in a single layer until they darken in color. Once they are ripe, store in the refrigerator where they can actually last for a few weeks.

Rainbow Swiss Chard
Storage:
Do not wash Swiss chard before storing as the exposure to water encourages spoilage. Place chard in a plastic storage bag and wrap the bag tightly around the chard, squeezing out as much of the air from the bag as possible. Place in refrigerator where it will keep fresh for up to 5 days.

Curly Parsley
Storage:
Wrap the herbs loosely in the dampened paper towels and place them in a resealable bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate. This method, which allows the herbs to retain plenty of moisture, will keep your parsley fresh and wilt-free for 3–5 days.

French Breakfast Radishes
Storage:
For longer storage, put unwashed radishes with their greens removed in a plastic zip-top baggie with a slightly damp, folded paper towel at the bottom. Put the bag in a cool, moist, dark place, like the crisper drawer of the fridge. They'll last several weeks stored in this manner.

Plums
Storage: A ripe fruit will yield when pressed gently. To speed up the ripening process, place plums in a paper bag and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Storing ripe plums in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer will prolong their eating life — they should keep for 3 to 5 days.

Crimson Sweet Apples
Storage: The ideal storage temperature is 30 to 35 degrees F. with 90 to 95 percent relative humidity. If you don't have a lot of apples, the refrigerator is a good option. Place them in the crisper drawer in a plastic bag with holes in it or cover the apples with a damp paper towel.

Cauliflower
Storage:
Keep cauliflower loosely wrapped in plastic in the fridge. Fresh from the market heads will last up to 2 weeks. You can cut cauliflower into florets and stored them, sealed, in a plastic bag in the fridge. They will last up to a week in a well-regulated refrigerator.

Lemon Balm
Storage:
Wrap the herbs loosely in the dampened paper towels and place them in a resealable bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate. This method, which allows the herbs to retain plenty of moisture, will keep your lemon balm fresh and wilt-free for 3–5 days.

Salad Mix
Storage:
After washing your lettuce leaves, spin them dry and place the slightly damp greens in a container. A container is best, but you can use a plastic bag if you keep a corner open (to allow some airflow in). Add a few paper towels to absorb excess moisture and you'll be able to store these greens for seven to 10 days.
