In the cold months, we slow down a litte, spend more time inside, bundle up in layers...and eat root vegetables. With the yearning for sunshine and warmth may come a yearning for springtime vegetables. While we're not quite at the point where winter and roots are going away (regardless of what the occasional spring-like day might suggest), there is still plenty of good eating to be had from these relatively low carbon-footprint local vegetables. Explore techniques and recipes for The Classics, Glazing, Braising, Pickling or Fermenting, Chips, Gnocchi, Au Gratin, Latkes, Salads and more!

5,825 pounds of local purple daikon radish and carrots were donated this past week to the Greater Boston Food Bank.
It was only through a collective effort that we were able to facilitate this donation.
Thank you to our customers that participated in our "Donate a Box" drive as well as our farm partners - Atlas Farms and Winter Moon Farm. Both farms heavily discounted their roots allowing us to put together our largest donation to date! We also have to thank Myers Produce - one of our distributors that delivered Winter Moon's carrots to the food bank at no charge.
