Spray-Free Cabbage from Jonathan Farms
Not only is cabbage packed with nutrients, helps with inflammation, improves digestion, is heart healthy, full of vitamin C, Cabbage is an incredibly versatile vegetable! In slaws and salads, pickled, sauteed with butter and served with pierogies and sausages, or try frying it with bacon and sprinkling with fresh grated parmesan!

Organic Garlic Scapes from Blue Lagoon Organics
Garlic Scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant. Not quite an onion, not quite full garlic, these are a wonderful addition to salads, dips, stir-fry or pickled in a Caesar!
Organic Swiss Chard from Blue Lagoon Organics
Swiss Chard has broad leaves and a husky, crisp stalk. The stalk ranges from white to hot pink or red, often called “Rainbow Chard”, with the leaves darkening towards the tops of the vegetables. The leaves and stalk are both edible. Try a quick sauté with olive oil, garlic and lemon zest
Organic Parsley Bunch from Blue Lagoon Organics
