New item this week is our rhubarb. I offer two recipe ideas, a dessert and a beverage. I’ve been told that rhubarbaritas are quite tasty, and am looking forward to the experiment. It’s good to round our our seasonal eating in all of the many food preparations that we can find.
If you are struggling to finish your bag of salad greens as another bag comes today, perhaps you want to try making a soup out of them. It is one sure fire way to use up a big bunch of greens. Juicing is also another way to use your greens throughout the week.
And not that many will need inspiration to utilize your asparagus, but the guacamole made from asparagus is a midwestern fun switcheroo on the tradition avocado based dip. We are still enjoying the asparagus grilled and broiled. I think I have to eat it that way for a month straight before I start getting more creative.
Meet our summer crew…
Gerry, our summer intern and Miss Maggie Mae, 
Mercedes, our full-season intern with Buddy.
Mercedes arrived in mid April and is with us through October. She is a wonderful, upbeat asset to have on the farm this season and is learning all the ins and outs of running a small diversified farm to see if farming is something she’d like to do in the future. Mercedes comes to us from the Milwaukee area.
Gerry arrived this week and has just finished his first year at UW-Platteville. He is interested in learning about running a small farm and knowing how to make it a viable business. Gerry has been launched into farm routines here as we have been busy planting, harvesting, and working at a myriad of other tasks on the farm. Gerry will be living at home in Arcadia, Wisconsin, this summer while he works here and at Ashley Furniture in Arcadia.
I always feel so blessed to work with hardworking, positive individuals. I think our Suncrest Garden’s team is going to be awesome this summer.
Eat Well. Smile Often.
Your Farmer,
Heather
