Less than one week until Lobster Season opens! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about that, I plan on using my potatoes to make a potato salad this week with hopes that we might get to have lobster ASAP.
Another exciting addition this week is that of greenhouse grown peppers! I love peppers for their versatility, often using them in a stir-fry or fajitas, on pizza or in pasta sauce.
Uprooted will be closed on Friday, April 19th and Sunday, April 21st for Easter, so pickup for next weeks Rootabaga will be on Monday or Tuesday, please let us know if this isn’t going to work for you.
