Vegetables are great for our health. From Arugula to Zucchini, they each have a list of essential nutrients to keep our bodies active.

But none is as revered as the brassica commonly known as kale. And it's no wonder.

According to a Huffington Post article, Kale has more calcium in one cup than milk, more vitamin C than an orange, and 133% of a person's daily requirement of Vitamin A.

And as if that wasn't enough, it can even help reduce inflammation, an ailment affecting so many of us nowadays.

The other fantastic thing about kale is that with a little culinary magic, it can be downright delicious and enjoyed by those young and old.

As a new mom, it has become apparent to me that I absolutely love showing Maddie new things.

As a ravenous toddler, she was especially glad to find out that there was food growing all around her (she still can't walk past the patch of mint without stealing a few leaves).

I think that this is why I'm always excited for the first kohlrabi of the season.

And while our CSA veterans will be well-versed in the art of kohlrabi, it is one of those veggies that just haven't hit the supermarket.

Honestly, I just don't get it. It is crispy, refreshing, versatile, and super healthy. 

What's not to love? 

Are you as excited as we are to start a new CSA season?

We've made some changes, but one thing that will remain the same is our promise to deliver the freshest, most ecological produce option available to you from a family farmer.

As with most of our first bins, this one will feature a healthy amount of fresh greens, which, from a culinary standpoint, easily translates to delicious salads.

But did you know that most greens can also be sautéed, and even, dare I say it, made into soup!

There is also the obvious choice of blending it up in a smoothie, or to make a simili-pesto with it.

What a whirlwind! The early spring was unseasonably cold, making us wonder what kind of season we'd have.

Low and behold, warmer temperatures last week has everything growing very fast, and we are back on track to start the CSA veggie baskets next week. 

Yes! Next week! See the bar to the right for further details.

One big thing to note is that we are back to our original location in North Bay.

Folks who have been with us before 2016 will remember us being in the overspill parking lot of Memorial Gardens, right next to Tru Tan.
