Market News

Forest Run Farm is offering spinach, mizuna, arugula, baby choy and Asian Greens this week, produced in the Hoop House. They also have small head lettuce in various green varieties.

The herbs look wonderful! Lovage has a celery flavor, and is best first thing in the spring. Chives have arrived in the field.

Vegetable plants are available for planting home gardens—peppers, tomatoes and head lettuce—but other varieties are coming. Note that CSA credit can not be used on plants, so please pay for them with cash or check.

Friday pick up will be 4-6pm at Forest Run Farm in DeForest. Please make alternate arrangements for pick up if needed. CSA members that pick up at Hilldale should arrive between 8 and noon. All Farmstand CSA members can shop at Forest Run Farm’s vendor location at Hilldale Farmers Market: Bring your punchcard. We still recommend pre-ordering so that you get the most variety.

How to use Lovage

  • Cook with lentils- saute a few leaves with onions, add lentils and cook slowly.
  • Chop the leaves and add to cream cheese—use as a stuffing in a chicken breast.
  • Pesto is traditionally made with basil, but can be made with most herbs. I use sorrel and lovage.
  • Lovage, chopped finely, can be used on a pizza topping.
  • Lovage is excellent with fish, such as salmon
  • Chop the leaves in a fresh leaf and herb salad- dress with your favorite dressing.
  • Leek and lovage soup- it sounds good and tastes fantastic- the leeks and lovage really work well together.
