New This Week:

Napa cabbage

Hold your hats! The berries are here. The first SWEET CHERRIES of the season will arrive on Thursday afternoon from Green Meadow Farm, and a small batch of early New Jersey BLUEBERRIES will be delivered by Common Market on Friday.

In addition to these sweet treats, we received some tasty veggies at the beginning of the week: NAPA CABBAGE and CAULIFLOWER from Paradise Organics, GREEN KOHLRABI from Lancaster Farm Fresh, and BABY WALLA WALLA ONIONS and FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISHES from Landisdale Farm.

Looking for some new delicious additions to your early summer salads? Try Tuscarora Organic Growers’ delicate PEA TENDRILS (arrived on Tuesday) or Butter Valley Harvest’s hydroponically grown WATERCRESS (will arrive on Friday morning).

The first MIXED SPECIALTY EGGPLANTS of the year will be delivered by Lancaster Farm Fresh on Friday. These small colorful gems will be great roasted whole or thrown into a stir-fry with Paradise Organics’ ITALIAN BASIL and SPRING GARLIC.

Message from Ned Schefer, Fair Food Summer Intern
Back to top >

After a long and lonely hiatus from my Sunday morning shifts as a volunteer at 12th and Arch streets it is a privilege to reintroduce myself, in a greater capacity, to the Fair Food Philly community. I look forward to lending a hand during this exciting time at Fair Food and to meeting as many customers and colleagues as possible.

More exciting than fresh interns is fresh produce. New arrivals this week include three green and gorgeous vegetables, just in time for the solstice. Supple napa cabbage and sweet kohlrabi from Lancaster County prove that cabbage can be a light and refreshing vegetable during the warmer months. Don’t be deceived by the kohlrabi especially; it might look like a turnip but this cabbage cousin has a snap more like a cucumber than any root vegetable. The picture at right is of green kohlrabi. Use it in a Kohlrabi & Ham Gratin (see recipe below).

Broccoli from the Common Market is making its summer début also. This season’s stalks make for a crunchy addition to stir-fries and salads. Also worth noting: this harvest glows when brushed with oil and dropped on a hot grill, perfect for anyone celebrating the longest day of the year outside.

Join us on a tour of Hendricks Farms and Dairy, and learn about their production of raw milk, meats, and award-winning cheeses. We will enjoy a tour of the family's beautiful farm and cheese houses. You will learn about raising the grass-fed Ayrshire and Angus cattle that produce their products, the use of draft horses to power the farm, and the production of their cheeses. Our day will conclude with a picnic lunch featuring locally-produced food, including Hendricks delicious cheeses.

Recipes - Kohlrabi & Ham Gratin
Back to top >

If you haven’t tried kohlrabi, which tastes like a mild, sweet turnip, this gratin is an excellent place to start—after all, what doesn’t taste good with cheese sauce on it? Kohlrabi that are less than 3 inches in diameter will give you the most tender results. See the recipe at the bottom of this email.

We'd love to get submissions from you, our very talented customers, for our recipe section. We know you're making wonderful dishes with the local farm products you buy at the 'Stand (because we hear you talking about them), and we'd love to get some of your recipes for this email. Please send them to us!

Kohlrabi & Ham Gratin

From Eating Well Magazine
Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hours
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

3 pounds kohlrabi (5-6 medium), trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/3 cups low-fat milk, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup thinly sliced smoked ham or canadian bacon, cut into strips
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a 1/4 cup more for topping
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black or white pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Optional ingredients: Spring onions, scallions, or garlic scapes (mix these in raw with the cooked kohlrabi and ham)

2. Steam kohlrabi in the water until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and set aside.

3. Heat 1 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Whisk flour and the remaining 1/3 cup milk in a small bowl to make a smooth paste; stir into the hot milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. stir in cheese, and set aside a moment to start the cheese melting. Mix ham with kohlrabi, and then incorporate cheese sauce. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

4. Distribute the kohlrabi mixture in the prepared dish, evenly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.

5. Bake the gratin until bubbling and golden on top & kohlrabi is tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
