Produce
1 pound assorted squash
Summer squash is deliciously nutty and firm—a true classic summer squash. Perfect for sautéing, grilling, roasting, stir frying, zoodle-ing, you name it.
1 pound
Tomatillos are finally here with their tangy, delicious, crisp sparkling and acidic selves. They are delightful raw and cooked. Cooking tomatillos mellows out their acidity and brings out a more savory side. Current favorite ways to eat tomatillos: in salsas (fresh or roasted), vinaigrettes or braised with chicken thighs to form a lighter stew.
1 generous bunch
Thai basil has an anise scent and slightly spicy (but not hot) licorice flavor. It is the perfect companion to stir fries, noodle dishes, salads and works beautifully as a garnish to many soups like pho. To ensure its longevity: pop it on a windowsill or the counter and change the water occasionally.
1 pound
Tasty Jade cucumbers are delicious, thin-skinned, minimally-seeded cucumbers. When we first tried this cucumber, we were blown away by how crisp and sweet it was. This is an absolute delight eaten raw in all kinds of cucumber salads or just on its own if you are looking for a fast snack.
1 bunch
(Aka Scallions) They’re delicious, they’re versatile—what’s not to love? Green onions are astonishingly useful and have a slightly milder taste than onions. They are perfect as garnishes, in stir fries, soups, salads (and salad dressings). The possibilities are endless.
1 pound
Suyo Long cucumbers are a thin-skin, delicious cucumber variety from China. They are sweet and mild and perfect for eating raw (hello, all varieties of cucumber salad!!) and also pickle beautifully. They do have spines on the skin, which, if that is not your preference, can be quickly removed by lightly peeling them (You can leave the rest of the skin because it is so tender).
1 bulb
Fennel is delicious, beautiful and slightly alien-looking and we are here for it. It is crisp, fresh, aromatic and versatile. The bulb can be eaten raw (a perfect topping to salads), roasted, sautéed or added to soups. The fronds can be finely chopped and used to add an anise-scented punch to any dish.

Soup season has truly arrived! Collard greens are related to kale and cabbage, so they have that familiar savory, slightly bitter brassica taste and can be used much the same. Collards become milder with cooking are perfect for braises and soups due in part to their sturdy leaves.
1 medium squash
These squash are both delicious and festive-looking. The flesh is sweet and even textured and the skin is delicate enough to eat (hence the name “Delicata”). This squash is astoundingly versatile and can be baked, roasted, steamed, mashed, braised, put in soups, stews, etc. Don’t forget to roast and eat the seeds!
1 medium/large squash
Consider this an official hello to FALL! Butternut squashes are sweet, slightly nutty, a bit buttery and tender. Honestly, there is very little you can’t do with a butternut squash. It’s perfect roasted then eaten straight up or placed in a pasta, grain bowl, pizza, risotto or soup. You can puree it and use that puree in a soup or bread. The squash itself can also be a decoration or tiny companion. The world’s your oyster when butternuts are involved.
They’re delicious, they’re versatile—what’s not to love? Fresh onions are astonishingly useful and have a slightly milder taste than onions, but more intense greens than scallions. They are perfect as garnishes, in stir fries, soups, salads (and salad dressings) and quick pickled. The possibilities are endless.

Local, recently harvested garlic is truly something special. The taste is unparalleled in its brightness, freshness and potency. But, does garlic even need a description? It is both a herb and, I’d argue, a lifestyle. As a garlic girl myself, I put garlic in almost everything—stir fries, soups, stews, salads, salad dressings, breads, dumplings, etc. Grab yourself a head (or 100) and live that garlic folk life!

These novel and delicious carrots are petite and supposed to be round and globe shaped. They are perfect for snacking or just roasting whole!
