Weekly Salad

• Beans and Greens with Caramelized Dressing This salad is heavy on greens and beans topped with a dressing made from honey, caramelized onions, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, rice vinegar and smoked paprika.

• Dill & Dijon Potato Salad: A tangy and vibrant twist on a classic potato salad.

• Citrus Carrot Slaw with Raisins and Toasted Walnuts: This colorful combination of vegetables and tangy flavor will delight your tastebuds and have you coming back for more.

• Quinoa Salad with Tamari-Roasted Sunflower Seeds: A protein-packed mix of grains, beans and greens, tossed together with fruit, herbs and a sweet vinaigrette, topped with sweet, umami sunflower seeds—the epitome of a leveled-up salad. 

Daily Soup

Our small-batch soups are made from scratch daily with recipes crafted and tested by our farm staff. Enjoy all 16 ounces served with bread from Terranetti's Italian Bakery.

• Mama Cher’s Tomato Bisque Launch into the week with our classic tomato soup!
• Hearty Vegetable Goulash A deeply satisfying soup that highlights the many root crops grown at the farm, with hints of paprika and other warming spices.
• Creamy Cauliflower Puree Treat yourself to a cupful of farm cauliflower pureed into a smooth blend with potatoes, herbs and spices.
• Carrot Ginger Potage Made with the farm’s favorite root crop (carrots!), this soup is a true crowd pleaser.
• TGIF Red Lentil Stew This slightly smoky, vegetable-centric stew is a great way to punctuate the week!

Zero-Waste
