Parsley Root was the mystery in this week’s Winter Vegetarian Pilot Farm Share from Fresh Fork Market so I did a little googling. Food52 was very informative on how to store it as well as linking to some recipes. That’s the fun of Farm Share – getting vegetables I’m not familiar with, then learning about…

An exciting new adventure begins with our Ohio Farm Share experiment in Winter Week 1 of the Vegetarian Pilot program we’re participating in with Fresh Fork Market. We’ve put our garden to bed, so to benefit from someone else’s forethought into an extended season is awesome. That’s because in Northeastern Ohio, so much of my…

Pears and Cider appeared in our NE Ohio Farm Share in Week 16, along with a variety of large fruit and vegetables. I had thought our farm share would be much less this week so I went by myself to pick it up. Wow — that bag was heavy! I ended up dividing it into…
