Stearns Farm CSA

Happy Martin Luther King Day! It is a new year, a new beginning, a chance to look ahead with hope and dedication. We welcome 2021 with some monthly updates:

• Our 2020 Annual Fundraiser was a success - thank you to all who generously donated! 

• Ember is getting ready for a new season of seeding and shares her all-time picks.

• Looking to invite some olfactory opulence into your home? Try one of these quick DIY projects.

• It's cold out and that means soup season. We have two recipes to warm and nourish.

See you next month and stay healthy, safe and warm!

Planning and Seeding

Planning and Seeding

Greetings! I hope you all had a happy and safe holiday and that you are enjoying the winter season. With some time off and the need to keep active to stay healthy, I’ve been trying to go for walks as often as I can. I’ve walked many laps around my neighborhood, been to the town forest down the road, brought a friend to SVT trails at Mt. Pisgah and met up with another friend at the historical Battle Road Trail in Lincoln (it’s a wide, flat trail that’s great for strollers!). This is also the time of year when I am busy tweaking the crop plan and finalizing my seed order.

Eat Your Share

Soups are a perfect way to use the remaining produce from this year's Winter Share. Both recipes featured this month call for generous portions of root vegetables.

The Vegan Lentil Soup is high in vitamins, fiber and flavor and low in sodium and prep time - this plant-based classic is ready in under an hour!

And this easy take on Sancocho - a chicken and root vegetable soup popular in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic - also takes less than an hour to make and yields enough for leftovers!
