Week 1: First Harvest & Egg Week

We're thrilled to announce that it's our First Harvest Week and Egg Week here at Dancing Hen Farm, and we're excited about what's in store for you! Get ready for an abundance of fresh, organic produce straight from our fields, starting with an array of nutrient-packed leafy greens. We have a variety of lettuces including two types of romaine, crisp iceberg, and tender butterhead.

In addition to our vibrant greens, we're delighted to introduce you to our diverse herb selection. From the familiar favorites like mint and lemon balm to the lesser-known but equally delicious lovage, our herbs not only enhance flavor but also bring valuable health benefits to your meals. Did you know that mint aids digestion, while lemon balm has calming properties that can help reduce stress? Let's explore these natural wonders together!

As part of our commitment to making your farm experience delightful and inspiring, we'll be sharing some exciting recipes to spark creativity with your veggie box throughout the season. And don't forget about our fresh eggs! They'll be included in your box every other week, adding a deliciously wholesome touch to your culinary adventures.

For your convenience, our online buying club opens every Thursday at 6 pm, so mark your calendars and get ready to place your orders.

A friendly reminder to please save and return your share boxes, egg cartons, and containers (pint, quart) for us to reuse and minimize waste. Your support in keeping our environment clean and sustainable is greatly appreciated. Please return to pick up location.

General Notes and Housekeeping:

Are my veggies washed? Most items have been rinsed, but not thoroughly washed. We suggest you wash most items again.

Storage of greens: Washed and dried salad greens can be wrapped in a damp towel and stored in a plastic bag in your fridge. Likewise, bunched greens will store best in a plastic bag. An ice water bath will quickly revive wilted greens.

Lastly, we kindly ask that you respect our site hosts by maintaining cleanliness and order during pickups. These generous individuals volunteer their businesses and homes for our collective enjoyment.

Thank you for being a part of the Dancing Hen Farm community. Let's savor the goodness of fresh produce, nourish our bodies with wholesome food, and celebrate the joys of sustainable farming together.

Warm regards,

Tai and the Dancing Hen Farm Team
