There are so many delicious local fruit and veggies becoming available each day, I just love this time of year! This week we have spray free broccoli, which Elmridge Farm says “is a rare treat and only accomplished as a result of the row covers under which we plant our earliest transplants” and it will only be available for a limited time. I plan to use my broccoli for a classic broccoli salad this week with dried cranberries and sunflower seeds, delicious!
This Friday, July 19th marks 4 years since Uprooted opened it’s doors so make sure to stop by for some free cake and giveaways!
