Happy holidays, farm friends!

The farm will be closed on Christmas Day as well as New Year's Day. Therefore, all Tuesdays deliveries and pickups for the week of 12/24 and 12/31 have been moved to Monday 12/24 & 12/31. On Monday 12/24, you can expect all deliveries and pickups to be made at least an hour earlier than normal.

As a gentle reminder, if you don't need your CSA share during the holidays and haven't yet talked to Casey, consider donating your box instead of postponing it. All donated CSA shares go towards our Sponsored Share Program and are delivered to either The Settlement Home or Safeplace. In case you missed it, check out our recent blog post which highlights our 7-year partnership with The Settlement Home. We are so incredibly grateful for our CSA Members' generosity - this partnership wouldn't be possible without our incredible community. Thank you!

Please let us know if you have any questions about your delivery or perhaps have a new favorite recipe you'd like to share. We know that gatherings and meals abound this time of year, so here are some of our favorite recipes that are perfect for this holidays!

For the soup lovers, we're drooling over this coconut and turmeric soup recipe which makes great use of our winter greens.

For the casserole lovers, try this chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole. It's immensely comforting and puts to great use all that broccoli we are harvesting right now. 

Need a quick and simple, but equally delicious and comforting meal to impress? How about throwing together this Asian beef stir-fry with bok choy for the family to enjoy!

This green pork posole would be a great one-pot dish for Christmas Eve or Christmas night. Pick up some tamales for a complete and simple meal.

If you are more inclined to skip the meats, check out this amazing cabbage steak with balsamic glaze. Who needs those meaty proteins, when you have a big crunchy cabbage?

If you are looking for some great vegetable sides, how about AISD's famous carrots with herbs de Provence? Other great ideas for comforting vegetable sides include purple turnip & garlic mash or some delectable cauliflower skillet cakes. 

Everybody needs something light on their holiday table to break up the heavy and rich foods that usually dominate. Check out this everyday kale salad with infinite options. 

We think that this is the best salad ever. Seriously. This grilled caesar salad is legendary and sure to impress.

And finally, the classic New Year's dish, easy black-eyed peas and collard greens!
