Honeynut Winter Squash - Frog Hollow Farm, Walla Walla, WA - "Reconsider the butternut with this smaller, tastier version - enter the honeynut squash! This cutie pie has all the classic sweetness and flavor of a butternut concentrated into a personal-sized squash. Along with their more intense and succulent flavor, honeynut have an incredibly smooth texture without the stringiness often found in other winter squash varieties. Their skin is thin and edible - so no need to peel!
Roast this special squash variety and add to pastas, soups, or grain bowls."
Green Frilly Kale - Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Kale is a tasty and nutritious green with a earthy and bittersweet flavor. It has high levels of fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, and iron. Massaging or cooking these greens breaks down their texture, making them sweeter and easier to digest. Kale is choice for a hearty salad, kale chips, smoothies or soup.
Carrot Bunches - Full Bushel Farm, Medical Lake, WA, Elithorp Farm, Deer Park, WA, and Makana Farms, Otis Orchards, WA - Sweet, crunchy, and classic. This root is a staple snack or a much-loved addition to salads and stews. Feature the flavor of carrots by roasting them with garlic and parmesan or sautéing with sage.
Broccolini or Broccoli Heads - Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA and Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - Broccoli is crunchy with a mild bitterness when raw and sweeter when cooked. Broccoli cheddar soup, broccoli curry, and pasta with roasted broccoli are some of our favorite ways to use these versatile little trees! Pair with strong flavors like garlic, lemon, chili, or sesame.
Roma Tomatoes - Royal Produce, Royal City, WA - A great tomato for saucing, paste, and canning becuase of its denseness and flavor!
Green Bell Peppers - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - We love a bell pepper on a veggie tray, on pizza, in ratatouille or in fajitas.
