The Tine & Toil Farm in North Coventry, in its ninth growing season, provides fresh, seasonal, organic produce to many Pottstown families through Mosaic Community Land Trust’s Community Supported Agriculture program.

The owners, Nathan Hasler-Brooks and his wife Kerry, believe in value-added and like to give their CSA customers a Tine & Toil newsletter chock-full of helpful information including new recipes, writes Courtney H. Diener-Stokes for The Reporter.

The recipes focus on creative ways to prepare some of the produce in that week’s delivery. If you are looking for tasty, new ways to prepare your produce, the Tine & Toil can help.

Hasler-Brooks said the veggies that people find the most challenging to prepare include garlic scapes, okra and Hakurei turnips.

He explained that the Hakurei turnip is “mild and has a sweetness more than a peppery taste.”

How does he like to prepare it? He said, “Last night I quartered them and did a quick sauté with butter and salt and put a little honey on them in the skillet, so they have a glaze to them.”

The farm dedicates almost half of what they grow to the Pottstown families enrolled in the Mosaic’s program.
