Cilantro

Funny story, an aunt of mine runs a trucking company out of Iowa.   For some reason an entire semi load of cilantro ended up in her possession as unclaimed freight.  “Now what could one possibly do with all that cilantro…it’s just for salsa right?” my auntie asks. No no no auntie there are endless ways to use cilantro…

 Cilantro is used around the world as a fresh herb to flavor all sorts of soups, salads, pastas and meat dishes.  It is often made into sauces that have extraordinary flavor that can be drizzled onto anything from tacos, yogurts, soft cheeses, rice, beans, lentils, to your morning eggs!

 If your still thinking about that ENTIRE SEMI FULL OF WASTED CILANTRO know that the thing you and I got going on right now… our small farmer/ CSA member relationship is one of the strongest antidotes to that situation.  For one there’s no trucking industry or long highways between us.  Everything we grow is distributed by us within five miles from the farm.  A lot of you even walk or bike to pick up directly at the farm!  Furthermore, I grow directly for my customers needs and we work together building a food culture to consume our farm’s produce. Because of the community we create very little goes to waste. The little we do not consume gets composted, and it gives back to the farm!
