Stop by the Norwich Farmers Market this Saturday 9am-1pm. This will be our first outdoor market of the season and we'll be there rain or shine with fresh spring greens and herbs to kick off the season. We'll also have our delicious oyster and shitake mushrooms, sauerkraut, kimchi, and some hardy plants to get your garden started. Check out this Shabu Shabu recipe, it's easy to adapt with any of the spring vegetables we'll have at market this Saturday. Shabu Shabu is one of Japan’s most popular hot pot dishes. It’s a fun meal since everyone sits around the hot pot at the table, cooks together, and eats while you chat, like fondue! A communal dining experience that inspires good appetites and brings people closer together. Our hoop houses are filling up with gorgeous greens and herbs for early spring farmers' markets and CSA Shares. Growing in these passive solar houses gives us a jump start on spring by protecting crops on frosty nights. Our field plantings will start to size up in late May and we'll turn over these hoop house beds to grow summer tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants. Have you heard about our customized CSA Shares?
