ASPARAGUS IS HERE!
After days of grey winter skies the sun shines through the clouds and Violet brings a bunch of asparagus from the cold refrigeration of the warehouse into the light! It has been so long since you've had asparagus on the menu. Too long.
You know that asparagus is full of amino acids and fiber but did you know that asparagus is chock full of folate? Folate helps the brain create dopamine and serotonin. We can't guarantee asparagus will cure your seasonal depression but it couldn't hurt.
And not to toot our own horn, but at Forty Acres we got the good asparagus. There are no spindly spears over here. These stalks are thick, hearty, and cut to last for a bit.
Purchase a $20 Veggie Box for delivery to your door and ask to have asparagus included. This time of year you can use all the dopamine you can get!
Who Are You Calling A Tart?!
What are your plans for using the asparagus you just got in your delivery? This week's recipe for asparagus tart is a great way to use those stalks. Add some bell pepper, mushroom, and shallot and you've got a healthy meal full of veggies. This tart works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it's vegan to boot!
