As you can see, we’ve revamped the site & I’m digging the new look & feel. But I am working with quite the learning curve. In some circles, I’m practically a luddite. So please bear with me. I don’t often have the time to blog plus farm & be a mama & so on, but I do write weekly farm updates to our CSA members & I figured I’d post some of the older ones here & can start adding them on as they’re written when we begin the Winter CSA season next week.

Check out CSA member, Deirdre’s, ideas for last week’s CSA share. Yum!
Now that the holidays are over, our CSA from In Good Heart Farm is back. Yay! Take a look below at what we got this week.
Our CSA share this week | Grabbing the Gusto
Tatsoi
If I pick up scallops at the seafood market, I might make something like this recipe from Cooking Light: Sea Scallops with Sautéed Tatsoi and Bacon.
Otherwise, this idea intrigues me: Swiss Chard Salsa Verde from Bon Appetit. I’ll replace the chard with tatsoi. They recommend putting it on fish, chicken or pasta. I can do that.
Cabbage
I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes for deconstructed cabbage rolls lately. I love this idea because I’ve never been inspired enough to make cabbage rolls. If I go this route with cabbage, I’ll start with this recipe from Kalyn’s Kitchen.

In Good Heart Farm
To say that the soil is in good heart is to say that it is healthy, in good cultivation, & in good spirit. To say that a person is in good heart is to say that they are cultivating wisdom, courage, & good spirit. Ben & I felt that our farm name should represent our vision & we couldn’t think of a better representation of what we want to do & what we want to be in our world than In Good Heart.

Here’s the farm update from the CSA newsletter for this week (Week #4 May 14, 2012).

Farm Time
The habit of looking to the future and thinking that the whole meaning of the present lies in what it will bring forth is a pernicious one. There can be no value in the whole unless there is value in the parts.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
