As winter vegetable subscribers you know the joys of radicchio. I have been singing the praises of chicory for years and this year I really may have lost my mind. I just love anything chicory. Last night we made a huge bowl of the escarole mix we are giving you this week. It had “Natasha” escarole, “Variagata di Luisa” radicchio and some “Indigo” red radicchio. I ate the remaining leaves late into the night. My two favorite recipes for dressing this type of salad are:

And a Caesar salad riff from a tiny cookbook all about the joys of radicchio:
Please share any recipes you have found.
We are adding another odd ball, old world veggie to our winter line up – Rutabaga! No clue how to use it – me either. I just sliced it real thin and ate it raw. I enjoyed the crunch, deep turnip flavor, but now we all have to dig in and find a way to use this veggie that just keeps on growing in the winter. Here is what I am suggesting:

Lastly, I am sure you have, but if for some reason your ballot is still sitting on your kitchen table, please sit down right now and fill it out and go drop it in a ballot box. Stay strong, keep up the resistance. Hopefully when I write next week we will be in a better place as a nation, moving on from the buffoon in the white house.
Here is the proposed schedule for the winter harvest pick up. It is due to change, due to extreme weather and the need for the farmers to escape (hopefully we can plan around this proposed schedule, but).
November 1,8,15 (Thanksgiving share is an add on November 22)
December 6,20
January 10, 24
February 7, 21
March 7, 21,28
You can add mushrooms on those weeks and more often if you wish (meaning come to the farm for pick up even though there are no vegetables that week) You need to contact and pay Chris and Emilia at Cloud Cap Mushrooms and they will set it up for you!
