Let's talk about kale 💚

Look at this beautiful, fresh kale that came to us from our friends at Hogstead Farm!

Kale is a leafy green that belongs to the same family as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. You can enjoy it in so many ways - chopped into salads, blended into smoothies, tossed into soups, or even baked into crispy kale chips!

A huge thank you to Hogstead Farm for sharing their harvest with the Arlington Community Food Bank and helping us provide fresh, locally grown produce to our neighbors.

What is your favorite way to eat kale?

🍂 Happy first day of fall! 🍂

Today marks the official start of a new season! As summer fades into fall, the days get a little shorter, the air gets a little cooler, and the colors around us begin to change.

These beautiful, colorful bell peppers seem like the perfect way to welcome the new season. From deep purple and bright red to orange and almost white, this colorful harvest is a beautiful reminder that nature comes in all kinds of colors.

A big thank you to Caruso Farm for growing these beautiful peppers and sharing them with us!

Here's to changing seasons, colorful harvests, and all the food things that fall has in store!

Have you ever seen a white cucumber before? They might look a little different than the cucumbers we are all used to seeing, but don't let their pale color fool you - white cucumbers are crisp, refreshing and delicious!

Did you know that a single cup of white cucumber can give you up to 20% of your daily recommended amount of Vitamin K?

Do you have a preference when it comes to cucumbers? How do you like to eat them?
