Update & Share: 6/9/26

To view Farmer John’s latest update, click here.

This week’s share will include:

  • Veggies: spinach, bok choi, radishes, kale (with a few collards mixed in), lettuce, garlic scapes, choice of an herb (mint, thyme, oregano), and possibly peas.
  • Add-on shares: John’s email did not include any details about the add-on shares. I’m assuming it is too early in the season for those to start. More info coming soon!
  • For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

  • In 2017 I mentioned discovering buttered radishes for the first time but didn’t actually include a recipe! Here’s one from Serious Eats that is about as simple as can be. Simply, roast radishes in butter and sprinkle with some chopped herbs and salt. When I was searching for a recipe to share today, I came across other suggestions of pairing raw radishes with butter. So many “recipes” popped up for literally just smearing butter on raw halved radishes. Somebody on reddit said their favorite quick lunch is a sandwich of buttered bread with sliced radishes. I knew the radish-butter was an old time classic as a roasted side but didn’t realize so many people love the pairing with raw radishes as well. Now I know what I’ll be doing as soon as I get our delivery home! (PS – don’t forget to take the butter out of the fridge so it’s nice and spreadable!)
