MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 10/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
It’s certainly been busy out here lately, with all the momentum of spring quickly marching us forward. In just three short weeks, we’ll be joined by a shiny new cohort of interns and just like that, we’re off and running! It’s an exciting time of year, when potential energy is high and the opportunity of another season seems to offer unlimited inspiration, despite the finish line just recently behind us. What can I say - farming just never seems to get old. Here’s hoping this week brings plenty of rain, and the rest we all need to keep moving. Happy eating!

RECIPES
This week we’ve decided to give you the gift of dandelion greens. They’re a bitter green and can be used and prepared similarly to escarole or radicchio. Not a lover of deliciously bitter vegetables? Never fear! Cooking the greens tempers the bite. As an added bonus, they’re extremely nutritious - check out this article from Bon Appetit for more details.
