Asian Pears
Sweet and incredibly juicy.
Applesauce
Perfect snack. Divvy up in little containers at the beginning of the week so you have easy grab-n-go portions for lunch.
Potatoes
Excellent all-purpose potatoes.
Eggs
The yolks tend to be a bit brighter than yolks that you purchase at the grocery store. That’s a good indication of freshness!
Lettuce
Spring greens to brighten up your dinner table.
Parsnips
Creamy and sweet. Braise in stock, roast, or boil and then mash. Pairs well with herbs like sage or thyme.
