Recipe Ideas…..

Two salad recipes I made this past weekend for our Pain Management Workshop, taught by the lovely Abigaile of Movement for Mental Health :)

Polenta, Kale, Basil, & Sausage Salad

Ingredients:

~ Polenta

While cooking I added a dash of cinnamon, heaping spoonful of honey, cayenne, 2 bay leaves, glug of olive oil, salt (to taste), & ground pepper. Add to the kale salad while warm.

~ Kale

Massaged in olive oil, salt, & vinegar / acid of choice ( I used a cabernet port, but ACV or balsamic would pair well)

~ Basil

Chopped and added to the salad, amount to your taste

~ Sausage (we used Crane Dance’s Tuscan Rosemary)

Roasted at 375 or 400, chopped in circles & added to the kale while warm

Broccolini, Celery, Kohlrabi Salad

Ingredients:

~ Broccolini

~ Celery

~ Kohlrabi

Chop all three of these into bite size pieces. I used two bunches of broccolini, two celery bunches from Clear Bottom Lake Farm, & 1 kohlrabi.

To dress these chopped veggies up I added (all to taste, my measurements are rarely exact):

~ Fenugreek

~ Sesame seeds

~ Berbere (Ethiopian spice blend)

~ Salt & pepper

~ Cashews (soaked raw, unsalted)

~ Apple Cider Vinegar

~ Maple Syrup

~ Olive oil + a dash of sesame oil

~ Mayo

~ Dijon Mustard

This salad has unlimited possibilities in my opinion! Some of my other favorite flavor / veggie variations include:

~ shaved cabbage, carrot, kohlrabi, miso slaw

~ date, pistachio, parsley, chili oil

Linked Recipes:

Savory Broccoli Cheddar Muffins

Carrot, Broccoli, Ginger Salad

Kohlrabi Fritters (my favorite!!)

Salads shared with folks at the pain workshop!

Details & Reminders….

---

“B Week” Half Shares begin Tuesday, June 18 or Wednesday, June 19. As a half share member, you will pick up once every other week. If you have not recieved an email from us confirming you as “A Week” or “B Week” please reach out so that we are all on the same page :)

As a full share member, you will pick up weekly.

Please arrive to your selected pickup location between 4:30 and 6:30 with a bag or two!

On Farm pickup address: 12696 7 Mile Rd NE, Belding 48809

Grand Rapids pickup address: 1147 Fulton St E, GR

When you ordered a CSA, you selected a pickup option for the season. Please honor your pickup selection unless you make special arrangements with us to pick up at a different time or location. Any time produce leaves our cooler and heads to market for pickup, it loses a degree of freshness; if you don’t pick up your share, those veggies are at risk of being added to our compost pile!

If you miss a pickup, call (616-402-7315) or email us (stillwindfarm@proton.me) to make arrangements within the week and we can bring your share to the next Friday or Saturday farmers market. 

Our CSA point of sale service, GrownBy, is new to us this year. We are still learning how to unlock all of its potential, but hopefully it’ll be a useful way of sending reminders, tracking orders, and taking diverse forms of payment. You probably received an invitation from GrownBy in the last month or two, thanks for accepting this and getting plugged in for the season. We’re not so good at computers but we’re trying our best to be secure with our (and your) data, which is why we are slowly moving away from Square. 

As always, please reach out if you have any questions :)

xoxo,
