Intentional Broccoli

by Frank Paynter on June 22, 2007

The produce is rolling in.  Every week between now and sometime in October we will get a dozen eggs from healthy chickens and a heap of vegetables.  We’ve had just the right amount of rain interspersed with hot sunny days and Blue Moon Community Farm here at Sandhill headquarters is thriving.  The challenge is to abandon the gross packaged food eating habits and open ourselves up to the wonders of broccoli and spinach, radishes and garlic scapes, lettuce and sugar snap peas.  The radishes are a favorite of mine, and they’ll be over in another week or so.  But never mind.  There’s always something new coming in.  Two of us sometimes have a hard time keeping up with our share.  We have to be intentional to eat everything we’re given.  Crowds the potato chips off the plate, it does.

Kristen Kordet grows good eats.  Dane County residents looking for a CSA next year will be lucky to buy a share of Blue Moon.
