Familiar Farms, Fresh Greens
|
| There’s a new farmer in store this week! Welcome Lake Breeze Organics, a certified organic farm based out of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Familiar to many of you, Lake Breeze is a staple of the Evanston Farmer’s Market. Check out their tender bok choy that just came in this week!
And, we have some verdant veggies—kohlrabi, romaine and frisée lettuce, and green curly kale—all grown in Silver Creek Farms’ hydroponic greenhouse in Ladd, Illinois.
From forest-to-fork, Tree Range Farms is back from hibernation! If you missed them this winter, that’s because their commitment to regenerative and ecosystem-conscious practices means their chickens are raised seasonally in Minnesota. Tree Range chicken wings, drumsticks, thighs, and bone-in, skin-on breasts can now be found in the meat cooler near aisle 2! |

| Recipe of the Week
This week’s recipe was submitted by Owner #709! Using the fresh collard greens we’ve had in stock, this white bean and collard green soup comes together in just 15 minutes. Tip: serve it with some fresh sourdough and shredded parmesan…yum! |
