Blackbird Farms of Coopersville
This week at market, we are offering again our pre-selected, pre-packed bags of fresh vegetables. These bags are something akin to our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. We assemble bags of our highest quality veggies based on whatever is fresh and in season for that week. In the bag, we aim to have some combination and quantity of at least six different vegetables with a combined value around $20. We also include a brief note from Farmer Greg and a farm-tested recipe. Each bag costs $15.
This week’s bag will likely contain some combination of the following: head lettuce, arugula, Brussels sprouts, Napa cabbage, leeks, pie pumpkin, garlic, and microgreens. Again, each bag will cost $15. (Please note that due to the variability of the weather this time of year, the contents of the bag might be a little more in flux than in other seasons. I will try to hew as close to this list as I can, but substitutions may occur.)
This week we also will have a variety of vegetables available for pre-order:
—kale (red curly, green curly, and lacinato): 1 pound for $4
—collard greens: 1 pound for $4
—arugula: 1/4 pound bag for $3
—baby kale: 1/4 pound bag for $3
—full-size cabbages (conical, savoyed, and Napa): $4 each
—Brussels sprouts: $4 per stalk
—leeks: 1 pound for $3
—Anna Barbara’s Ohio Red garlic: $15 per pound (1/2 pound minimum order) ***Very limited quantities.*** This garlic is suitable for use as seed garlic.
—Music garlic: Ideally, we will have more available next week.
And new this week:
–FRESH GINGER: $20 per pound (1/4 pound minimum). Please note that ginger rhizomes are irregularly sized and so may not weigh out to exactly what you ordered. We will try to get as close as we can.
To order, please e-mail us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Friday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
Thanks so much! We are looking forward to seeing friends old and new this Saturday!
