Sourcing with Heart: Meeting Your Farmers

Questions to Ask at the Stall

Ask how the greens were grown, when they were picked, and which variety sings right now. Farmers love guiding curious cooks toward peak flavor. Start a conversation this weekend, then return here to tell us what you learned and how it changed your recipe.

CSA Adventures

Community-supported agriculture boxes can feel like culinary treasure chests. That oddball kohlrabi? We turn it into crisp slaw or pan-seared steaks with lemony aioli. Share a CSA surprise you conquered, and subscribe for our weekly “box-to-table” transformation ideas and shopping swaps.

Traceability Tales

We once followed a crate of strawberries from dawn harvest to evening dessert. Knowing the field’s name made every bite brighter. Tell us which ingredient you’d love to trace back to its source, and we’ll feature your story in a future farm-to-table spotlight.

From Harvest to Recipe: Technique Foundations

Sun-Warm Tomato Panzanella with Torn Herbs

Chunky, juice-soaked bread meets salted tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil torn by hand, never chopped. Add olive oil like a ribbon and let it sit. Share which heirloom varieties you used and whether you added peaches or peppers to swing the salad toward sweet heat.

Roasted Roots with Citrus Gremolata

Carrots, beets, and parsnips roast until edges frill and sugars deepen. Finish with lemon zest, parsley, and garlic for brightness. Tell us your favorite root ratio, and subscribe for a roasting time chart that keeps texture snappy while amplifying natural sweetness.

Skillet Chicken with Orchard Apples and Thyme

Crisp-skinned chicken sizzles in butter, then welcomes tart apples, shallots, and thyme sprigs. A splash of cider ties orchard to table. Did you try a heritage bird or local cider vinegar? Comment your tweaks so we can feature your version in our next roundup.

Preserve the Moment: Extending the Harvest
