After a long day of lots of work and rushing to beat the storm... we didn't get a drop. We planted and did tractor work, and spread nutrients, all under eminent gray skies, lightening alerts, and clouds stacked as tall as Marge Simpson's hair. At the end of it all, the sun came out and blasted us, and we scrambled to make sure all the tender plants we entrusted to the earth had the water they needed for life. Irrigation can be a soggy job. Here I am front soaked, back dry, a classic look for the farm. Behind me- celeriac, parsley, a row of our overhead sprinklers and a beautiful sky.
Amy got trained on the Allis G! We use these tractors mainly for cultivation (weeding) but we also use them to put guides on the bed tops to help us plant at the proper spacing and in nice straight rows. In the end, this helps us cultivate- less wiggly lines to follow with the tractor! It was an exciting day and we are glad to have another machine operator on board. Blurry picture from helen's phone...
The brassicas in midtown are growing, and so are the weeds! The arms race between the wiles of humans and the weeds. They grow quickly, taking advantage of dew and tolerating less than ideal conditions, putting on mass, while we rush to cut them down before they get too powerful. This field has been cultivated and while in the beds, the weeds are kept at bay, the aisles could use some "refurbishing". Hopefully that happens soon!
Allium Alley: Shallots, scallions, and onions! These are some of my favorite vegetables. Toss some onions in olive oil and the scent signifies dinner to all who didn't know it was coming. Mince some scallions and fold them in raw or cooked for a gentle flavor lift. Sauté some shallots and thicken your sauce while adding a delicate flavor. These crops fight the weeds for a long season, and they don't do it well. They need lots of help because of their narrow leaves and shallow roots. Luckily, we don't mind!
I wrote an extremely lovely email, with much poetic insight and appreciation and it was cruelly deleted by the internet gods. Here is my reanimation of what once was:
Word on the farm is HOT. We start the day glistening from the heat and within moments are dusted with earth. Even so, we end the day beaming with the joy of of a job well done. June is when the hustle truly rises.
Keep coming out to the market to support your local growers and if you begin feeling worried about the crowds, remember you can pre-order. If you need help figuring it out, check out our trouble shooting guide at the bottom of the email. Need more help? Just email!!

Notes from the Farm:
We are off to the races, sprinting from task to task. And the farm is growing and the plants are thriving. Our late potatoes are out of the ground, there are blossoms on the tomatoes, the onions have recovered from the shock of being left to fend for themselves, and the whole farm is being devoured by green.
We are trying to get plants in the ground: tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, summer and winter squash, melon, cucumbers, fennel, herbs-- so many delicious ingredients! But just as we narrow our focus to this task, we look behind and realize we have to devout some love to all that has been planted already! We sprint from field to field, adjusting valves and tightening connections so we can move water to all the plants that a need it. We weed. We trellis. We cover and uncover. And as we settle into this, we look in the greenhouse and see more plants to get planted, that need more field to be prepped, that need more irrigation line to be run. And we look ahead to the fall and see we need to seed our fall crops soon! We have a lot of spinning plates!
It is a lot to focus on, but when you are in it, it feels pretty good. I love it, my appendages wheeling while thinking about what is next. And I love that the shape of the clouds mean something to me, and the luster of the leaves speak to me, that I notice when the swallows are back, hear the first crickets, and know the early fireflies. I relish being part of this world that is so much bigger than me.
And this crew! Let me tell you! We have been working some long, intense, hot, days! And we don't let up. We are putting our best in. And at the end of the day, there is smiling and laughing, mentions of "great days" and satisfaction. I am so glad to be working with these animals!
Onward and upward! See you at market friends!

Staying Active: Something to keep the gears of progress engaged: Last update May 13th, 2021

Thai inspired flavors highlight lentils and mushrooms topped with seasonal veggies and a Sriracha peanut sauce all wrapped up in leafy butter lettuce. Lettuce wraps are simple to pull together and meal prep ready! This recipe is vegetarian and vegan.*There is some overlap in the cook and prep time, but overall, this recipe comes in at under an hour.IngredientsFor the Filling:
- 3/4 C (145g) French Green Lentils
- 2 C (472g) Water
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 8 oz (200g) Shiitake Mushrooms
- 1/4 C (50g) Purple Onion diced,
- 1 tsp grated ginger*
- 1 tsp grated garlic*
- 1 1/2 Tbs Tamari
- 2 tsp Maple Syrup
- 2 tsp Prepared Thai Red Curry Paste
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 1 1/2 tsp Liquid Aminos or more Tamari
- 1/4 C (70g) Peanut Butter smooth or chunky
- 1 T White Miso Paste
- 1 tsp Grated Garlic*
- 1 tsp Grated Ginger*
- 1 Lime juiced
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup
- 3-5 Tbs Hot Water increase or decrease depending on consistency
- 1 C (100g) Snow Peas or Snap Peas trimmed and sliced into 1/4" pieces on the bias**
- 1 C (75g) Carrots julienne or grated
- 3 Tbs Scallions sliced thin on the bias
- 1 Tbs Sesame Seeds
- Thai Basil and/or Cilantro
- Lime wedges
For the Filling:
- In a small saucepot add the lentils and water. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 27 minutes. The lentils will be soft but still firm enough to hold their shape and texture.
- While the lentils are simmering, destem the mushrooms and slice the caps thin. The stems tend to be tough so discard them. Add the sesame oil to a large saute pan and heat on medium high until shimmering. Add the onion and saute for about two minutes, or until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook on low for 10 minutes.Allow the mushrooms to set in the pan for 2-3 minutes at a time, without stirring to get a bit of a sear on them. About two minutes before the mushrooms are done, toss in the ginger and garlic. Stir well.
- To the onion and mushroom mixture add the tamari, maple syrup, curry paste, Sriracha, and liquid aminos. Stir and cook on low for 2-3 minutes to incorporate all the flavors. Add the lentils to the mushroom mixture and stir to incorporate. Remove from heat. Taste for seasoning adjustment and add a few pinches of salt if necessary.
- In a food processor, add the peanut butter, miso paste, garlic, ginger, lime juice, Sriracha, maple syrup and 3 Tbs of hot water. Process until smooth, adding additional water if needed to adjust consistency. The sauce should be pourable and smooth but not runny.
- Rewarm the lentil mixture if necessary or serve the filling chilled. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons full of filling in the bottom of a piece of lettuce. Top with snow peas, carrots, scallions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Spoon a tablespoon of sauce over the wrap and garnish with leaves of fresh Thai basil. Serve with a wedge of lime and more sauce for drizzling.
- Packing it out for Lunch: If lettuce wraps seem too fussy or you’d rather pack this out for lunch and eat it with a fork, these lettuce wraps turn into a salad with ease. Simply chop the lettuce into bite size pieces and combine with the filling and toppings. Dress it with sauce.
- Meal prep ready! Make the lentil filling and lettuce wrap sauce at least two days in advance and store in the fridge in a lidded container, separately. Assemble when ready to enjoy.
- To make these even heartier, add cooked and chilled thin rice noodles to the lettuce wraps.
- When snow peas are out of season, sub thinly sliced cabbage.
- The filling can be served warm or chilled.
- To prep the carrots with ease, I use a julienne peeler. It’s fast and works like a charm.
- *Use a micro plane to grate the garlic and ginger or finely mince.**When Snow Peas are out of season, I use thinly sliced raw cabbage in this recipe.
