You may recognize Margo. She has been interning with CSAP4H since the summer season and we are so grateful for her hard work! Her favorite vegetable is beets. One way she likes to prepare them is first boiling then chopping them up for salads.

Cait is one of our winter interns and is a joy to have on our team! In the winter, Cait eats a lot of beans and greens, often with cornbread or wrapped in a tortilla with pepper jack cheese. Cabbage is her favorite vegetable and she likes to prepare it as a kraut or kimchi, in soups and stews, slow-braised, or roasted in a hot oven until the edges get crispy.

Did you know that Redbor Kale gets its deep purple color from cold weather? Who knew winter could bring such beautiful colors?!

Stephanie has been volunteering with us this winter season to help pack and deliver CSA shares. We appreciate her so much! During the summer months, you may find Stephanie at a park having a picnic eating her favorite vegetable (tomatoes) with some olive oil, bread and cheese. Yum! 😋

Have you ever seen an Ornamental Kale? They are very beautiful and can taste very bitter! Some folks like to plant them in their yard just because they are pretty to look at!
