More in-season inspiration…

  • Fennel: Roasted Fennel or Shaved Fennel Salad

  • Kale: Baked Kale Chips (4 Ways)

  • Kale, scallions: Burnt Green Onion Dip served over Curly Kale

  • Scallions, basil, greens: Herb Rice with all the fixins’

  • Chard, kale & more greens: Spanakopita or Japanese Style Cooked Greens

  • Pair your frisée/escarole with a sweet and acidic dressing to cut the bitterness

  • Hakurei turnips are mild and great raw—add them to a salad or just eat them like an apple! And turnip greens are great to cook with too!

  • A side salad with your meals is a great way to breeze through the abundant June greens. Add in some basil, fennel fronds, or herbs from the u-pick for a little bonus flavor. Top with your favorite combo of scallions, turnips, berries, fennel, etc. and enjoy!

  • Greens (of all kinds): loads of salad inspiration for early summer

U-Pick Gardens

open 7 days/week during daylight hours. unlimited use. for Full Plate vegetable share members only. no picking in tunnels or big fields. see u-pick details & maps!

AT STICK AND STONE FARM

Perennial herbs like oregano, garlic chives, thyme, etc. continue. And flowers are starting! Might be a good window to catch the cilantro before it bolts :) We’re still waiting on the peas and the rest of the gardens too, stay tuned!

AT THREE SWALLOWS (formerly Youth Farm)

Perennial herbs like sage, oregano, lavender, thyme, continue in front of the high tunnel on the barn side of the road. The plants in the main field are still growing, stay tuned! If you wander up there and find the first little blooms on any flowers, feel free to pick them—it will help the plants get bigger for even more flowers later on

PRESS BAY COURT is planted, but it needs a few weeks to grow :)
