The "Jack of all Cookeries"...The Rutabaga

Posted 1/25/2012 12:01pm by Matthew and Allison Mills Neal.

Hello from Arugula's Star Farm,

January of the new year has arrived, and a handful of items are still hanging on well.  As there are still fresh and hardy organic vegetables out in the garden field we will be sending weekly e-mails out on a weekly to every other week basis through these up and coming winter months. Also, now you can start sending in your order by e-mail allie@ArugulasStarFarm.com, fax, or phone.

If you need a reminder of how the On-Farm pick-ups work or if you need to remember how to order please click here to read about On-Farm pick-ups.  
**Remember... you can order by phone 931-682-3314,  fax 931-682-9175, or e-mail **
**Please place orders by Thursday evening, as harvesting starts early on Fridays**
   Picking day, most normally, for the rest of the winter months will occur on Friday mornings.  Therefore, produce will be ready and placed at the ROCKET from 2:00pm on Fridays and will be available there all weekend, through Sunday.  

Available Organic Items for Jan. 27th through Sunday Jan. 29th On-Farm Rocket pick-ups:

Out of all the available items right now, the Rutabaga is my favorite.  It seems as if we are consuming this vegetable at least 5 days of the week.  It is wonderful mixed with potatoes, then steamed and mashed.  This vegetable is so sweet it can even be eaten raw like a carrot and enjoyed.  It can be diced and roasted, it can be sliced and sauteed.  Infact, I find the Rutabaga to be a "jack of all cookeries".  Please give the creamy, golden root a try, you will be thankful!

All items are always on a first order first serve basis.
