Things are really picking up speed on the farm! You can practically watch the crops grow with the sunshine and warm temperatures we've been enjoying.

Kirbygrown produce available in the market right now:

Strawberries
Edible Pod (Sugar Snap) Peas
Lettuce
Spinach
Asparagus
Rhubarb
Peppers (field grown in our high tunnel)
MacIntosh, Empire and Crispin Apples (last years, from CA storage)

We also have locally grown gourmet mixed field greens (that's a delicious mouth full!), and hothouse tomatoes.

We are expecting regular peas to be here ~~by the weekend~~ in about ten days if the temperatures stay above seventy, and we'll start Pick Your Own peas and strawberries in the next week or so. If you're interested in pick your own, give us a call at (585)637-2600 to check on picking conditions.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Last week, Betty, one of our market salespeople, brought this salad in for us to try. It features two of our favorite early summer ingredients, and was so refreshing that we had to share it with you!

For the Salad

1 lb fresh, washed Spinach
2 cups sliced Strawberries
¼ cup slivered Almonds

For the Dressing

½ cup Miracle Whip
½ cup Orange Juice concentrate
1 Tbsp Honey

Preparation:

Combine Miracle Whip, honey, and orange juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

Tear the spinach into bite sized pieces and place in a large bowl or on individual salad plates. Arrange strawberries on top of spinach. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with Almonds. Enjoy!
