Broccoli - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - We've been waiting for this delicious, versatile veggie all year long! Enjoy it raw for a crunchy, slightly sweet, and bitter flavor, or cooked, making it more mild and sweet! The options are endless... enjoy on pizza, in a stir-fry, omelet, on a veggie platter or charcuterie board, or my favorite, with pasta!
Mixed Bell Peppers - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - These delicious veggies range in color from green, yellow, orange, red, purple, black, and white. The immature fruit is green. As the fruits mature, the color changes and the taste is sweeter. These Stuffed Bell Peppers will be your next go-to easy, week-night meal!
Roma Tomatoes - Royal Produce, Royal City, WA - Their bright red, smooth skin, high sugar and acid levels, and low moisture content compared to other tomato varieties, Roma tomatoes are ideal for cooking down into a tomato sauce or paste. Unlike beefsteak tomatoes, Roma tomatoes are not as juicy or as sweet which is why they're more commonly cooked than eaten raw. However, they taste delicious in salads and even in sandwiches!
Green Onion - Lilac City Harvest, Spokane, WA - Add green onions to quesadillas, cabbage slaw, or zucchini fritters! The perfect toping to any dish.
Green Frilly Kale - Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Full grown kale is a favorite for salads, kale chips, soups, and smoothies.

Acorn Squash - Fleming Family Farm, Chattaroy, WA - Acorn squash, a type of winter squash, has a sweet and nutty flavor that is often compared to pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. When cooked, the flesh of acorn squash becomes soft and tender but also a little fibrous. It holds its shape well in salads and other side dishes but can also be pureed for soups. It is rich in nutrients, such as fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium.
Rainbow Fingerling Potatoes - Full Bushel Farm, Medical Lake, WA - The most versatile of potatoes. Try our Smashed Potato LINC Box Recipe... the perfect side for your next dinner!
