FROM OUR FARM
Spring Green onions, also known as scallions, have long green stalks and small white bulbs. They have a mild onion flavor and we have so many ways to use them. Chop them and use as a flavor contribution garnish or toss into any salad, add to stir-fries, or roast with a mix of other veggies as a side to any meal. Of course you can always just serve the complete onion, washed, trimmed and raw, as a side to any meal…no chopping necessary!
Our Goat cheese is super creamy and deliciously tangy. It has a distinct flavor and can is very spreadable. It is versatile and can be used in salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes.
Fennel is a vegetable with a bulbous base, stalks, and feathery green fronds. It has a mild licorice-like flavor and a crunchy texture. Fennel can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, sautéed, or used as a flavoring in various dishes.
Our sweet, crunchy, packed with nutrients Carrots can be eaten raw, steamed, roasted, or used in soups, stews, and stir-fries.
Garlic scapes are the curly green shoots that grow from the tops of garlic plants. They have a mild garlic flavor and are often pickled to preserve them. Pickled garlic scapes can be used as a condiment or added to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. Use them on your focaccia recipe below.
SQUASH FROM LOVE LIGHT FARM
Zephyr yellow squash is a summer squash variety known for its vibrant yellow color and tender flesh. It has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. Zephyr squash can be grilled, sautéed, roasted, or used in various recipes, including stir-fries, salads, and pasta dishes.
Patti pan squash, also known as scallop squash, is a small summer squash with a distinct scalloped. Use as you would any squash.
SPECKLED BUTTER BEANS
Speckled butter beans, also known as lima beans, are pale green beans with small reddish-brown speckles. They have a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Speckled butter beans can be cooked and used in soups, stews, or served as a side dish. We love to add a piece of your favorite bacon while cooking to add flavor.

Pizza Dough Instructions:
Making pizza at home with Corey’s fresh dough is so easy. Start by preheating your oven to 400*F and placing a pizza stone (if you have one) in the center of the oven. Lightly flour your work surface and gently stretch out the dough into a basic circle. Place the dough into the preheated oven to partially cook (a process called ‘blind-baking’) for about 8 – 10 minutes, depending upon thickness. While the dough blind-bakes, collect your favorite toppings (sauce, cheese, fresh vegetables, etc.). Remove the dough from the oven, layer desired toppings and return to the oven, baking for about 8 – 10 minutes more. Cook time will vary based upon your toppings and thickness of the dough.
Bon Appetit!
