Eat your turnip greens!
Don't get rid of your turnip greens! Chop them off of your turnips before storing in the fridge in order to help the greens and roots last longer. We like to lightly sauté the greens in garlic and olive oil. #nofoodwaste

FarmerDave 8yr I add them to a simple stir fry with ginger and tamari. I never used to keep turnip greens, but I'm so glad I do now. -
RahulRaRa 8yr I wonder if you can use these greens like you use spinach in some Indian flatbreads. -
olivettefarm 8yr @RahulRaRa I bet you could. The turnips greens will cook a little quicker than spinach does possibly. @FarmerDave that sounds good! Gonna have to try that. -

These tiny plants pack a huge flavor.
Red Russian Kale, Napa Cabbage, radish micro, dill and Tuscan Kale. These are all from thinning out our seedlings in the greenhouse. I always love making salads off of our thinnings #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians Does "thinning" In farming mean the same thing as "thinning" when you get a haircut? Maybe a dumb question, but I don't know!

olivettefarm @Rachna pretty similar! Sometimes when we seed in the greenhouse we accidentally drop multiple seeds into a cell. There's not enough room in each cell for multiple seeds to grow healthy before...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Ohh so interesting!!!! I can't wait to come down to visit
Baby bok choy in the greenhouse. How do you like to use it?

sugardetoxme Baby got Bok? 😝
Leeks doing their morning stretches.
Our little leeks are happy in the greenhouse. It's easy to forget that the giant leeks you're used to start out more like a blade of grass.

JenniferDoscher Awww Do they get lullabies at night? 😊💖 Maybe "God's Chorus" of crickets, by Jim Wilson?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yay!!!
-
olivettefarm @JenniferDoscher haha - yep! Bedtime stories every night. Gotta keep them happy.
Amaranth Microgreens
A study found that amaranth micros have 4-6 times more nutrients than their full grown counterparts. They have a flavor very similar to beet micros, just a bit more mild.
