MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 27/52 of 2021

Dear Farm Members,

A time comes every year when spring greens are long gone, leaving our veggie boxes heavy from summer’s gold - zucchini, cucumbers, corn, onions, and beyond. Summer greens are no easy feat in hot weather! This brings me to Mizuna, the miraculous bunched green you’ll find in your boxes this week. It’s quick to grow and tolerates the heat well, making it a perfect pinch hitter in the moments between heftier greens. Delicious in a salad, or lightly cooked in soups and stir fries, it has a spicy, mustard-y kick similar to arugula or a mild mustard green. It’s one of our many treats to you this week, and we hope you love it! Stay cool out there, and when in doubt, eat a salad.
