THE ROOT OF IT
When Denis and I started our organic market garden farm with our five kiddos in tow, we were excited to grow a bounty of wonderful produce for our local community. Ordering our first seeds had us dreaming about all of the exciting items we would produce. We couldn’t wait to hold the vegetables in our hands, taste the flavours, and share the harvest with our customers to enjoy around their dinner tables. Farm-to-fork deliciousness had begun. Our community was enthusiastic, and our CSA program was a smashing success.
Over the years, as we expanded our program, continued to grow a wide variety of vegetables, and fed hundreds of returning customers, we noticed a few recurring themes. Number one, although our customers loved their fresh produce and were excited by the incredible variety (“it’s like Christmas in a box each week!”), encountering new vegetables was daunting for them. And number two, they wanted guidance from us on how to fully use, store, enjoy, and make the most of their abundance of fresh vegetables.
The most frequent questions we get asked as market garden farmers are:
+ What is this?
+ How do I eat this? (Are all these parts edible?)
+ What sort of things can I make with this?
+ How do you store this to keep it fresh?
+ What can I do with my excess vegetables piling up in my refrigerator?
+ How can I preserve my vegetables to last through the year?
I wrote this book to answer all these questions and be a comprehensive guide for you to fully use and enjoy all your delicious, nutritious veggies.
