Mountain Bounty Farm

Happy New Year Mountain Bounty folks – we’re so glad to be entering another year with you!

And we’re all thrilled to have deliveries start up once again. I know how much I missed the fresh veggies during the holidays – I can imagine you guys did, too.

Reno Deliveries
Big News! We’re adding 2 pickup sites in Reno, beginning January 19. If you refer a new member in Reno, we’ll give you a free week of veggies this summer. Contact Kathy for more info – 530-292-3776 or info@mountainbountyfarm.com

Veggie Box Contents
2 lbs Navel Oranges (from Blue Heron Farm, Rumsey CA, certified organic by CCOF)
1.5 lbs Mandarins (from Gold Oak Ranch, Rumsey CA, certified organic by CCOF)
1 Red Kabocha Squash
2 Celeriac (celery root)
2-3 Leeks
1.5 lbs Potatoes
1 bunch Rapini (aka Broccoli Rabe, a tender green)

A note about what’s in your veg box -  Due to freezing nights, some of the greens show signs of burn around the edges of the leaves. Other than the cosmetic blemish, the greens are fresh and tasty! See below for some great recipes …

Fruit Bag Contents
2 lbs kiwis
8 lbs of mandarins

Recipes
Start a Pizza Night! My family often uses Friday as our weekly pizza night. If you’re not into making your own pizza dough, you can pick up some great fresh, prepared dough at most groceries stores – or try asking your favorite pizza restaurant for some. And then get creative with your toppings ….. here are some great ones:

Roasted Garlic, Caramalized Leek and Bacon Pizza

Rustic Potato Pizza

Pizza with Rapini

And one of the best presents I gave my husband this Christmas (and he swears it is one of the best presents ever) was the cookbook, Eat Like a Man, from Esquire Magazine (a magazine I love to read, too … honestly!) On New Year’s Day he made the Beef Stew (which has among other things celeriac, ale, and portobellos). For a hearty meal this winter, you’ve got to try it – to impress men and woman alike – click here.

And now that you have that Kaboucha Squash on hand, you’ve got to try that Squash Fennel Soup I posted a few weeks ago – this is THE squash to make it with.

Enjoy the bounty!
