CSA Share Notes – Feb 12, 2026
Our greenhouse crops are rocking strong right now! They did great through the winter storm and are just near perfect. We hope you love this box filled with vitamin packed leafy greens. SALAD SEASON is here! What are your favorite salads?
Your vegetable line-up:
Kale — Bunched baby kale: this one is tender enough to use as a salad green, but you’re already getting LOTS of salad greens so you might prefer to saute this one. We love this crop. It goes into our scrambled eggs near daily.
Lettuce — This leafy mix is so beautiful! Enjoy tons of salads this week. We’ll share our salad faves below.
Arugula — For everyone this week! Beautiful, young, tender leaves from out of the greenhouse. We love it when a planting of cutting greens works out so beautifully- Enjoy a clean, weed-free crop!
Cabbage — For everyone this week, just some wee little baby ones that survived the big ice storm.
Roasting Turnips — Lots to go around! A wonderful hearty veg for a soup or stew, or to roast with your sweet potatoes.
Spinach — loads! Perhaps with strawberry season approaching you’ll eat some nice spinach strawberry salads this week. Also fantastic cooked to break down the oxalic acid.
Radish — Red Rover, crisp, juicy, and barely any hint of spice, as these matured in nice mild weather conditions. So delicious.
Sweet Potatoes — from our friend and neighboring farmer, Tony Philips, best sweet potato grower in these parts. They’re not certified organic, but these tasty roots are free of any chemical sprays, so no need to worry!
Veggie Storage tips:
Everything wants to be washed well before cooking, but keep the dirt on till then, to prevent faster spoilage.
Sweet potatoes store best at room temp.
Roots like radishes and turnips want to be kept sealed up in the fridge, high moisture, cold temperature. They’ll stay fresh and crisp if you remove the tops.
All leafy greens, including cabbages want to be in your fridge. Seal them up in a bag or container to retain moisture for longest storage life. If your bagged have any standing water in them, drain that excess water out to prevent spoilage.
We’d love to hear stories and recipes of your culinary adventures this week. Tag us on Instagram or Facebook, showing us how you’ve used your CSA share.
