Stay tuned to our Facebook page for a video about the pizza kit from Idlewood Farms.
Tip: Arugula should be placed on your pizza after it comes out of the oven. The hot pizza will wilt it nicely but won’t burn it. Do not put it on before you put it in the oven–it doesn’t like that. Basil can be torn and spread over cooked pizza or placed under the cheese layer before you bake it for added flavor. Or you could use it to make a pesto sauce to add to your pie.

1 bag baby kale from Idlewood Farms near Richmond

1 clamshell Idlewood Farms microgreens

1 bunch Idlewood Farms spring onions

1 cucumber from Moss Neck Farm in Caroline County

2 ears Snead’s Farm corn

1 loaf chocolate pumpkin bread by Three Ladies Foods and Bakery

1 jar Snead’s Farm blackberry jam by Three Ladies Foods and Bakery

Artisan Box Week 4

Artisan Box: Week 4

In the box

1 bunch baby carrots from Idlewood Farm
1 bunch golden beets from Idlewood Farm
1 sourdough loaf from Idlewood Farm
1 small head cabbage
1 clamshell microgreens from Idlewood Farm
1 bag seasonal salad greens from Idlewood Farm
1 pint Snead’s Farm tomatoes

With your carrots and beets, be sure to cut the greens from the roots as soon as you get home. Both can be used in cooking and salads, but both will keep longer if you separate them first.

Looking for a way to use your cabbage? Consider trying to make homemade kimchi.

Roasted, sliced beets + goat cheese + microgreens + toasted, sliced sourdough bread = a great lunch or appetizer.
