French Breakfast Radishes
These culinary delights need very little work to be enjoyed. Slice and eat them raw on salads or with toasted bread and butter. They pair well with fresh herbs and balsamic as well. |

Baby Bok Choy
Kissed by the cold weather, these baby greens are sweeter than regular bok choy and do well in a sauté pan over high heat with oil or butter. They’re also perfect for stir fries or charring on a grill. |

| We now have a full lineup of flavors for this fast selling yogurt brand. Deerland Dairy yogurt is made with pasteurized, non-homogenized milk from Jersey cows. |
This week, we’re proud to feature Spinach and Scallions from Evan Barry and his Benson, Illinois farm team. Evan studied under local farming legend Henry Brockman of Henry’s Farm before starting his own endeavor. The team at Down River believes the role of the farmer is to steward the land and grow the most nutrient dense food possible. You won’t find the “certified organic” label on their produce, but Down River is a pesticide free operation.
