Happy Spring! We've got tons more locally grown starter plants from Gabriel Valley Farms for you this week. They'recertified organic and inexpensively priced at $1.69 for a 4" pot. Come by and take a look.
We're also proud of our locally grown strawberries – they're beautiful and have a better texture and flavor than their Californian or Mexican counterparts. Grown in Poteet, Texas (the strawberry capital of texas!) by our friends at Oak Hill Farm (who also bring us some incredible spinach), they're $4.49 for a 16 oz package.
Eating seasonally is easy at the co-op. We try not to carry things when they're not in season, and we load up when things are the freshest and tastiest. The Organic Asparagus crop has been making its way northward and California fields are in their height of production. Asparagus is a delicate crop – it likes to grow in between rain showers and doesn't tolerate being wet. It doesn't care for the heat, either, so the season is short – usually ending in April. Take advantage of this window of opportunity to taste some fantastic asparagus. It's versatile and super easy to prepare. I like it on the grill but you can easily steam it in a matter of minutes. Check out this video Dan made called "How to cook asparagus, quick-like!"
