Yesterday was market day at Poplar Ridge Farms in NC and as a participant in the work share program I spent fours hours out at the farm working in the fields and at the produce stand.
I spent time in the fields pruning the garlic tops from the garlic, this allows all the nutrients to go to the bulb and also pruned the flowers on the cilantro plants.
It was in the 90’s yesterday and as I headed home with my bag of organic greens, a cool shower and fresh garden salad made with organic greens were on the agenda for the evening.
Salad with fresh field greens posted: May 14, 2011. Make the salad your own, go all veggie or add in seafood. So many options!
