Week 23 of 23

Fittingly, snow and cold rolled in this week as we prepare to wrap up the Summer-Fall CSA. We harvested the last of the tender cooking greens for shares this week, and continue to bring in loads of root vegetables made all the sweeter by the cold temperatures. We look forward to sharing this last growing season harvest with you and wish you all a cozy winter ahead. Thanks for being a part of the 2025 season! See you soon :)

Last shares heading your way this week, 11/12-11/15

From here on out the farms will be quieter with each passing week. Most of the food from the field is in the barn now, and our seasonal crews will head out soon. A few folks will stick around, as always, to tend to these very full root cellars, keeping the food flowing through the coldest months. And together we’ll begin the work of planning for the coming seasons. We’re excited to share the winter abundance with all who have joined, and look forward to the seasons to come too.

First Winter CSA shares go out Thurs. 12/4 - more details to come!

Stir-Fried Cabbage in Peanut Sauce

For the sauce:

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk

  • 2 tablespoons smooth or chunky all-natural peanut butter

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

  • 2 teaspoons Asian chile-garlic paste or sambal oelek

  • 3/4 teaspoon packed light brown sugar

For the stir-fry:

  • 1 medium head Napa or Savoy cabbage (about 2 pounds)

  • 2 medium carrots

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped roasted peanuts (optional)

  • Steamed rice or cooked rice noodles, for serving

PREPARATION

  1. For the sauce: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl to combine.

  2. For the stir-fry: Quarter the cabbage lengthwise, then cut the core out of each piece. Cut the cabbage crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry the cabbage pieces. Peel the carrots and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

  3. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots and half of the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to wilt. Continue adding the cabbage and cooking it down until all of it is added. Season with salt and cook until all of the cabbage is starting to wilt and exudes water.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sauce, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly (it will thin out when mixed with the cabbage liquid, then thicken to the texture of whole milk) and the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lime juice, and stir to combine. Top with the roasted peanuts, if using, and serve immediately over steamed rice or cooked rice noodles.
