Storage

For many new (and returning) CSA members a big question is, "How do I store all these delicious vegetables?" We would like to recommend a handy book, "A Guide to Your Produce Aisle," ISBN: 978-1-56383-332-8.  It offers basic information on many vegetables, as well as suggestions on how to select, store, and even serve them. For the novice and expert alike, it may be a useful addition to your kitchen bookshelf.

Are you wondering what to do with all the yummy Kindred Ground Farm green peas you received this week? Simply store the whole pods  unwashed, in a perforated plastic bag (a knife perforates a ziploc bag quite well), in the refrigerator for up to three days. Before use, rinse and shell.

What about the delightfully spicy radishes you will soon be bringing home? You simply trim the green tops off and refrigerate unwashed in a plastic bag for up to a week. But what if you want to be able to reach right into the fridge for a tasty radish and pop a little bit of Kindred Ground Farm in your mouth anytime? We have found you can trim off the green top, place the washed radishes in a bowl of water in the fridge and they will last 2-3 days.
