Wild Onions



Wild onions are a very flavorful delicious edible. They are one of the first plants to push through the ground in spring. They look like a cross between chives and scallions. Their leaves, bulbs, and flowers are all edible and have a distinctive sharp flavor and scent.




They are typically found in clumps and because of their small size, cleaning can be a little tedious. Wash the bulbs and remove the roots and skins until you get down to the snowy white bulbs.



I simply sauteed these wild onions in olive oil with a little bit of salt and pepper.

Wild onions are delicious grilled, chopped into a salad, used as garnish, roasted, creamed, made into an onion dip or an onion broth or soup.

Community Supported Agriculture "What You Want, When You Want It!"

Farmers' Mark and Joanie are excited to announce the 2011 CSA. A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a program where we offer customers fresh-picked USDA Certified Organic produce by purchasing a share of the season's harvest in advance.
By participating in a CSA, customers become dedicated to sustaining the farm by supplying capital for start-up expenses, (farm labor, seeds, potting soil, utilities, greenhouse supplies, etc.) that need to be paid before the first crop is harvested.
This year a share entitles our members to fresh produce, vegetable, flower and herb plants, fresh cut flowers and all other products available in our farm store (honey, maple syrup, goat cheese and goat soap, jams, baked goods, seasonally prepared foods, etc.). Members will be able to choose what's in their share anytime the farm store is open from May through October.
We strive for a wide variety of USDA Certified Organic produce throughout the season. A major benefit to this program is its flexibility. You select what you want, when you want it!
