🌡95°? Let's cool off washing Haikuri Turnips! . Fi 🌡95°? Let's cool off washing Haikuri Turnips!
.
First, we soak the 'nips in cool water to loosen the residual soil. Then, we pop 'em in the root veggie washer, which tumbles the veggies with brushes and sprays them directly.
This eliminates hand scrubbing! 😉
.
Then, we give 'em a final hand rinse and eye 👀 for any missed spots. Finally, they are stored in perforated bags, in bins, waiting to be ordered from @newpioneercoop, or added to CSA shares, or selected for @icfarmersmarket.

🌞It's been 🤬🥵 but we've still been moving forward 🌞It's been 🤬🥵 but we've still been moving forward with summer planting...between freezer pops, electrolytes and plenty of protein!
.
Seen here, Sierra, Leslie and Elli are rolling Sweet Potatoes out in the field. Sweet Potatoes are planted from 'slips' - shoots sprouted from a mature tuber. 🌱
.
We plant them in long berms, which allow the plants to spread out and vine down the sides. Vines can get up to 15 ft long!
.
Harvest will happen between 90 and 150 days. So look for these rich tubers to show up between September and November!🍠
.
In the last image is a little solar electric fence we rigged up to discourage our four legged neighbors 🦌. Ends up, the deer like the taters too! 🙃

🍬 Field FRESH: Candy Onions! 🍬 . Hannah is holding 🍬 Field FRESH: Candy Onions! 🍬
.
Hannah is holding our first harvest of Candy Onions! The word onion derives from the Latin 'unio', meaning 'unity'. This particular varietal has a subtle flavor, perfect for fresh & cooked preparations! 
.
🔪Peel the waxy, outer layer and then slice 'n' dice for a little ZIP in slaws, picnic salads or relishes!
.
🔥Or throw thick slices in a pan on low heat for rich carmelized onions to add to sauces, burgers or grilled cheese!
.
🧅What's your allium go to?

Orange in vegetables is produced by the aptly named...carotenoids! But this color is more than just a pretty face for the 'gram!
.
Carotenoids are various elements in produce that our bodies convert to Vitamin A. Vitamin A helps support eyesight (for real!) and is an antioxidant that targets free radicals in lipid rich tissues. So eat up buttercup!

🫜#nofilter Easter egg radishes, fresh from the fie 🫜#nofilter Easter egg radishes, fresh from the field! Thanks for harvesting these beauts, @hannah_depover
.
This is a classic blend of varietals - Cherry Belle, Pink Beauty, White Beauty, and Purple Plum radishes. 💜🤍🩷❤️
.
🥗Raw, these have bright, slightly spicy notes which compliment herbaceous salads. 
🔥Roasted, the spice mellows and the flesh sweetens - perfect with grilled salmon or chicken.
