Hi all,
Just in case you were wondering about some variances between the posted box contents and what you did receive, here were the changes (and why):
– We had to give kohlrabi instead of corn as the crop was destroyed by raccoons
– We had to substitute red leaf lettuce for broccoli as we ran out of broccoli
– We had to substitute radish for zucchini in a couple boxes (we have no more zucchini for the rest of the year)
For those of you with kohlrabi still looking at you from your refrigerator, don’t fret! Here are a few simple recipes to try:
