This year I am working for my farm fresh vegetables by volunteering at Native Hill Farm once a week. It is a great way to trade a few hours of my time for a box of vegetables. Instead of buying a CSA, this is a great alternative. Especially if you are someone that enjoys gardening, being outside, and getting to know more people in your community. So in my farm bounty this week I brought home some rainbow chard and snap peas. I was trying to think of a recipe to use these up and I was really craving sushi. So I thought I would try making a sushi salad. Which turned out so delicious! I hope you give it a try with your farm or garden vegetables.
I will be sharing a lot more seasonal recipes and herbal recipes in the coming weeks. With more consistent posts that will have you inspired to add more plants and herbs into your daily meals. It is important to fuel our bodies with essential nutrients and there is no better way to do that than sourcing as many ingredients as you can from your local farmers or from your very own gardens.
