Farm Update

We are busy planting, this week we planted brussels sprouts, celeriac, and leeks. We planted some more fingerlings, green onions and lettuce. We are going to start planting tomatoes now that hopefully the frost is over. We have some new chickens in hopes that we are going to get more CSA members but we are having trouble with them eating eggs!

We are waiting for supplies to do some fencing so we can get some more livestock on our farm to help with our soil health. We are doing a couple projects through the Federal Government – Living Lab and On Farm Climate Action Fund.

Pac Choi

Bok Choi is a very mild Asian cooking green. It can also be called bak choi or pac choi.

Storage Tips

  • Wrap Bok Choi is a damp towel or put it in a plastic bag and store in the hydrator drawer of the refrigerator.
  • Store for up to one week. Leaves will wilt if allowed to dry out

Cooking Tips

  • Separate stalks from main stem and rinse leaves and stem. Pat dry.
  • For stir-frying separate green leaves from the white stalk. Chop stalks into 1 inch wide diagonal chunks. Cut leaves into small pieces.
  • The stem needs to be cooked a few minutes longer than the leaves.
  • Bok Choi makes a great stir-fry. First sauté onions until they begin to soften. Then add the Bok Choi stems, tofu chunks, soy sauce, and grated ginger root. Add the bok choi leaves last. Serve with rice or noodles.
  • Sauté or steam bok choi and toss with a favorite marinade.
  • Toss cooked bok choi with a light coating of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar
