Howdy Salmonberries,

What's cookin'! In both Farm Box and Essentials, expect lacinato kale, a pint of raspberries, and Salmonberry P-Patch. Essentials is eyeing snow peas exclusively; In addition to pastured eggs and shiitake mushrooms as usual, Farm Box should expect ___.

Wanted to share a tidbit I learned from a family friend about garlic scapes as pesto. A classic italian pesto recipe that blew my mind. Super simple, but I tried it and can't get enough.

  • 1 organic bunch garlic scapes (Newaukum Valley Farm)
  • 1 organic lemon (CA)
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt: roughly 20g on a scale

All you need is garlic scapes, salt, and lemon. For a standard bunch of garlic scapes, about 1 lemon and a tablespoon or so of salt. Blend in a food processor until smooth. That's it -- no cookstep, and it's garlicky, bright, and outstanding on pizza, pasta, you name it.

With love,

Your Salmonberry foodie friends
