Henry always saves back the biggest and best heads from the July harvest as seed garlic and hangs them up in the barn to dry. Today we cut down long strand after strand of garlic, loaded them in the pick-up, and planted hundreds of heads of some varieties and thousands of heads of others. Each head we break apart into its constituent cloves and plant them blunt root end down and pointy end up. Some varieties of garlic have large cloves, so there may be only 5 or 6 per head, while other varieties have twice as many. By the end of the day, Henry estimates we put some 40,000 cloves into the ground. They will put down roots and then go dormant over the winter. And in the early spring, 40,000 bright green garlic plants will poke their way through the thick straw mulch — destined to be green garlic for your early season CSA shares, garlic scapes a little later, and finally mature heads of garlic . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/84f4e812-d806-4991-895c-194c7429d93e/carrots.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #23 (10/28/2025) - Make it stand out Henry says you will for sure get carrots tomorrow, and probably a choice of at least 2 varieties of peppers we rescued last week.

Not the rain pictured in this photo from early summer, of course, since it mostly came in the dark hours of Saturday night — but it broke a nearly 3-month drought, for which we are extremely grateful. Henry said we got 1.2 inches at the house and bottom fields, but only .7 inches at the upper field where we held the farm festival. But the soil in both locations is now nice and moist and your vegetables are extremely happy, as are your farmers! Along with the change in precipitation, we are getting a change in temperatures, with frost predicted for Wednesday and Thursday nights. So we are now in the midst of the pre-frost harvest marathon — getting all the heat-loving vegetables like Okra, Peppers, Tomatoes and Sweet Potatoes out of the field before they turn to mush. Speaking of sweet potatoes, this week Henry is giving you the smallest sweet potatoes you have ever seen. Why have you never seen sweet potatoes this small before? Because the conventional food system throws them away. Then around Thanksgiving, you’ll get the biggest sweet potatoes you’ve ever seen — again, ones that the conventional food system throws away. You get to enjoy this vast range of naturally occurring sweet potato sizes because Henry is not subject to the arbitrary rules of the wholesale markets that dictate the narrow range of acceptable sizes, and lead to unconscionable food waste. But because you are a CSA member and in a direct farmer-to-eater relationship, you get to enjoy small sweet potatoes this week and larger ones later — secure in the knowledge that you are not a party to the rampant food waste prevalent in our country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f8d1066a-12bf-4b26-a81a-8e97c4329bdf/Henry+digging+sweet+potatoes.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #22 (10/21/2025) - Make it stand out In other weather-related CSA news, Henry and the crew were out digging and bringing in the sweet potatoes until after dark tonight since they need to be out of the ground before the coming night in the 30s. The sweet potatoes you get this week will be very small, and will include ones that were broken or otherwise damaged during harvest. You get the smaller and broken ones first because they will not keep well, and later you get the large ones that will keep for many months, even clear through the winter in you can resist them that long! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/4294a119-3501-4aeb-96fb-744a8c8f358b/Greens+pie.png CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #22 (10/21/2025) - Make it stand out Greens Pies are ubiquitous around the world with Greek Spanakopita and Italian Erbazzone being excellent examples. You can use whatever greens Henry has to offer you this week, or any week, and adapt to your taste with more or less cheese and eggs, with the possible addition of nuts and/or raisins! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm-a467h-wsnnf-pnmfy-w8px4-wm8d3-k6lgd-x58m9-tnskm-zpfg7-nblh5 monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/0d3a562a-c021-4288-b05c-9a891b5a6728/Ema+Dulce+cider+tour+2025.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #21 (10/14/2025) - Make it stand out It was a glorious day, and we thank you for helping us press fresh apple cider, take the tour and vegetable quiz, and make it yet another memorable event! Henry just finished “grading” your “Name That Veetable” quizzes, and the winner is . . . Jennifer Anne Stubbs, a new CSA member, who won with 8.5 points.

Simply peel them, then slice or cut into cubes and toss in a green salad. Or you can toss the cut-up turnips, on their own, with a light vinaigrette, or your favorite salad dressing for a light and crunchy salad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1758842872423-QOXIF7KIGY6AJ8RYMXBI/September+chois+in+the+field.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #21 (10/14/2025) - Make it stand out Henry grows many different varieties of choi, and you’ll probably see a few new ones this week.

It turned out that it was indeed raining a few miles north of us, but none fell on Henry’s Farm. Needless to say, we really need rain. But sad to say, none is in the forecast — short term or long term. So we are running miles and miles of drip tape—literally running to move it over to the next row, and the next, and the next every few hours to keep the fall crops alive and growing. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm-a467h-wsnnf-pnmfy-w8px4 monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/05d37596-b37b-4ae0-829b-416d225ac613/Henry+ChiSunTimes+cover+shot.png CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #15 (9/2/2025) - Make it stand out Check out the nice pieces about Henry’s Farm that were in the Chicago Sun Times this weekend — both an article by Stefano Esposito, and a piece by the photographer Pat Nabong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/5c210754-3843-4718-bce1-94cf8e0077ea/Farm+tour+view+from+hill+hires.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #15 (9/2/2025) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a563281e-45c7-47b4-a39c-4f65514633a8/baby+green+amaranth.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #15 (9/2/2025) - Make it stand out The Amaranth Greens are young and tender, and may be stir-fried or used like spinach in all your favorite cooked spinach dishes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/afa73866-1475-4769-a68a-54625e03227b/dew+on+purslane.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #15 (9/2/2025) - Make it stand out Purslane Health Benefits Purslane is high in omega-3s, and great either raw in salads, or sauteed with eggs or other vegetables. People around the globe have known and loved purslane as far back as we know. It was cultivated in ancient Egypt and was enjoyed by the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Arabs. In Europe, its cultivation goes back to the 13th century. Until recently, it was considered a weed here in the U.S., although flower gardeners love its more showy cousin, Portulaca or Moss Rose. Weed or not (and we say Not!), purslane is a worthy addition to your salad repertoire -- tasty and healthy! Like other "weeds," purslane is far more nutritious than most domesticated greens. Here are just a few of its health benefits: * Seven times the beta-carotene of carrots * Six times more vitamin E than spinach * Fourteen times more Omega 3s than other greens * Strong anti-oxidant activity * And folk medicine holds that purslane cures insomnia! How to Use Purslane * Toss into salads -- not just green salads, but beet salads, potato salads, egg salads, and more! * Add to soups and stir-fries * Add to scrambled eggs or omelettes * Lightly steam for 4 to 5 minutes, then serve with salt and butter * Add to smoothies * Try this simple Turkish Purslane Salad with Yogurt, and substitute Shiso for the Mint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a7375270-ee76-46a8-8c90-d374d5833c77/drip+tape+irrigation+dusty+soil+sm.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #15 (9/2/2025) - Make it stand out Henry spent much of the day planting the crops that you’ll see in your October and November CSA Shares.

This week she has a limited number of half-bushels of the crisp, tart-sweet Pristine apples pictured above.

If you have a pressure-cooker, cook the whole beets for about 15-20 minutes, then slip off the skins. Or you can halve, quarter, or cube them, and then boil or roast until tender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/0998e516-5048-43b6-b76b-b58c4d3ac575/mutabel+beet+dip+jpg.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #10 (7/29/2025) - Make it stand out This recipe comes from Omaya Cooks, known for her traditional Syrian recipes. Similar recipes are found throughout the Middle East, and you can adapt it as you like — for example by adding the mint or lemon basil from your share this week. You can find similar recipes online, some of which call for putting all the ingredients in your food processor, which is super-easy and makes a smooth dip for vegetables or chips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/d7138077-4560-4519-8217-716a9e83d6ad/laden+pristine+apple+tree.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #10 (7/29/2025) - Make it stand out Don’t forget to order your half-bushel of Pristine Apples now! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm-a467h-wsnnf-pnmfy-pdlk4-k4apy monthly 0.5 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/b28e52d1-2d01-4533-bc92-e0405f34bd02/Kellogg+breakfast+tomato+whole.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #9 (7/22/2025) - Make it stand out NOTE: In the first weeks of the summer crops (i.e. now!), don’t be surprised if you only get 1 small tomato or maybe just 2 ears of corn or 1 green pepper.

That’s because sometimes, during the Tuesday morning harvest, we discover there isn’t enough of one thing for ALL members, so some locations get one vegetable while other locations get a different one. But Henry always evens things out over the weeks so that in the end all members will have received the same items! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a563281e-45c7-47b4-a39c-4f65514633a8/baby+green+amaranth.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #8 (7/15/2025) - Make it stand out This bunch of Amaranth Greens is from earlier in the season, and the bunches you’ll see this week will have larger leaves and bigger stems. Just rinse and chop the whole bunch, stems and all, then put into boiling salted water for a few minutes until tender. You can drain and serve with a little butter or olive oil, or add to pasta, rice, eggs, etc. I also love to make a "spinach" soup or saag paneer with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/afa73866-1475-4769-a68a-54625e03227b/dew+on+purslane.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #8 (7/15/2025) - Make it stand out Purslane Health Benefits Purslane is high in omega-3s, and great either raw in salads, or sauteed with eggs or other vegetables. People around the globe have known and loved purslane as far back as we know. It was cultivated in ancient Egypt and was enjoyed by the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Arabs. In Europe, its cultivation goes back to the 13th century. Until recently, it was considered a weed here in the U.S., although flower gardeners love its more showy cousin, Portulaca or Moss Rose. Weed or not (and we say Not!), purslane is a worthy addition to your salad repertoire -- tasty and healthy! Like other "weeds," purslane is far more nutritious than most domesticated greens. Here are just a few of its health benefits: * Seven times the beta-carotene of carrots * Six times more vitamin E than spinach * Fourteen times more Omega 3s than other greens * High in vitamins and minerals * Strong anti-oxidant activity * And folk medicine holds that purslane cures insomnia! How to Use Purslane * Toss into salads -- not just green salads, but beet salads, potato salads, egg salads, and more! * Add to soups and stir-fries * Add to scrambled eggs or omelettes * Lightly steam for 4 to 5 minutes, then serve with salt and butter * Add to smoothies * Try this simple Turkish Purslane Salad with Yogurt, and substitute Shiso for the Mint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/375451d3-06e5-4434-bf34-a9574012313e/Henry+at+hayrack+of+garlic.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #8 (7/15/2025) - Make it stand out The Great Garlic Harvest is done, but there are so many more jobs to do, including fall planting! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm-a467h-wsnnf monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e96801c2-7d4c-402c-bbcd-f4180efff692/garlic+harvest.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #7 (7/8/2025) - Make it stand out Because of this week’s big garlic harvest (see Farm Notes below), Henry didn't have time to do his usual field walk to figure out what goes into your CSA this week. So it may turn out to be a little different than what’s below, but it’s our best guess! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e1778c14-76ce-4c5e-9437-3b37e606b063/Red+Shiso+-+sm.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #7 (7/8/2025) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a2c958d6-2291-4c70-9df4-7bef6668665d/green+shiso+leaves.png CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #7 (7/8/2025) - Make it stand out Green Shiso is a wonderfully complex herb, great chopped and mixed into green salads, egg salads, potato salads, and even fruit salads. You can also dry the leaves and then use them as a seasoning sprinkled on rice, omelets, and soups. Or try this Green Goddess Dressing livened up with Shiso! Green Goddess Dressing with Shiso Green Goddess is a classic and versatile dressing. It makes a great dip for the raw carrots in your share this week, or a wonderful dressing for any salad. 1 cup parsley leaves 1 cup shiso leaves 3 tablespoons minced chives 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped 2 anchovy fillets 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sherry or rice vinegar ½ cup grapeseed oil ½ cup mayonnaise Kosher salt freshly ground pepper In a blender, combine the parsley, shiso, chives, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, vinegar and canola or grapeseed oil. Blend until smooth, about two minutes. Add the mayonnaise, and blend again until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1a5723fe-83bf-4b61-a3cb-44170315e4ed/Garlic+Harvest+2019.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #7 (7/8/2025) - Make it stand out The Great Garlic Harvest is underway! Henry and his team dug up all the New York White today, and it’s now hanging in the barn to cure. They will start in on the French Red tomorrow, and then move on to the remaining half-dozen varieties the rest of the week. By week’s end, we hope to have 20,000+ garlic plants out of the ground and hanging up to dry! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm-a467h monthly 0.5 2025-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/fb79cb94-9083-4255-aab7-21be0433d0d4/red+potatoes+in+hand.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #6 (7/1/2025) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/47f2c968-2d7e-4386-966d-f6fe4e2fddf5/Fat+Fennel+in+Henry%27s+Field.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #6 (7/1/2025) - Make it stand out I’ve heard folks say they don’t like fennel because they don’t like licorice. Well, neither Henry nor I like licorice, and yet we love the fresh, sweet, anise-y scent and flavor of fennel, and think you will too. It's easy to slice fennel into a slaw, or just eat raw slices for a snack or a dessert. Simple Fennel Slaw 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced 1 onion, thinly sliced (optional) 1 cup shredded cabbage (optional) 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper In a medium bowl, whisk olive oil and lemon juice. Add fennel, onion, cabbage, and parsley. Toss all ingredients and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/5584990a-08c0-4da1-ad5c-1d3d14aebedf/fennel+salad+with+prosciutto.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #6 (7/1/2025) - Make it stand out And here's a similar recipe we brought to a potluck recently. It calls for celery or celery leaf, mint leaves, and pecorino cheese and prosciutto -- but can be adapted to your taste. Just toss all the ingredients together and enjoy!s, and the sweetness comes to the fore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/3ff27d40-8097-4299-bbd3-6c3fbede6577/fennel+salad+recipe.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #6 (7/1/2025) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85-h5tgm monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/35f47dc2-f944-4afc-9f13-b02d6a9fe4f4/big+cabbage+horiz.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #5 (6/24/25) - Make it stand out This is the time of year when you probably don't want to spend much time in the kitchen, and Henry's vegetable fields oblige! You can make a fabulous stir-fry using every single item in your CSA share this week. Or you could put most (if not all) of them on the grill -- see Food Notes below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/99b78ced-d8c0-4381-b468-771d4ca4c57b/radicchio.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #5 (6/24/25) - Make it stand out Pliny raved about the beautiful radicchios of the Veneto region in his Naturalis Historia, noting that in addition to being tasty they're good for insomnia and purifying the blood. He also said it was the Egyptians who bred radicchio from its wild ancestor, chicory. In the Middle Ages, radicchio was especially popular among monks, who welcomed anything that would add zest to the simple, predominately vegetarian diets prescribed by their orders. But radicchio was not limited to monastic kitchens; it also figured prominently on the tables of nobles, both cooked and raw. In 1537, Pietro Aretino advised a friend who had a garden to plant it, saying he much preferred it to "aroma-free lettuce and endive." So don’t let the word "bitter" put you off radicchio -- it is simply another dimension of flavor, a deeper, earthier flavor. And when you cook radicchio, the bitterness fades, and the sweetness comes to the fore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/09d8edcc-d36d-4c30-b027-b70e1a614fba/grilled-radicchio.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #5 (6/24/25) - Make it stand out Grilling isn't probably what comes to mind when you think of lettuce and radicchio, but it's incredibly easy, and infuses the leaves with smokiness and great flavor. You can keep it simple, with just olive oil, salt, and pepper, or dress it up with parmesan, or other salty cheeses just after grilling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c3175ece-e8fa-47af-afbc-41171720e27c/hot+harvest.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #5 (6/24/25) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a-z6t85 monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e3941c89-6d15-4a17-9c3f-c49e1b225e38/henry+field+lettuces.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #4 (6/17/25) - Make it stand out This is the time of year when in addition to all the other farm tasks, there is weeding, weeding, and still more weeding to do! But thanks to the efforts of many hands working many hours, the fields are looking good. The summer crops are coming along nicely, and the spring crops are holding up for now, so enjoy all the peas and lettuces while you can! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/b26983d2-a0df-4e82-b58d-682b0c466321/garlic+and+scape.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #4 (6/17/25) - Make it stand out GARLIC SCAPES appear at the cusp of the green garlic and mature garlic stages. The hard neck varieties of garlic send up a seed head or "scape” that shoots straight up from the roots, through the middle of the bulb, and three or more feet into the air. As the garlic matures, the scapes dance and bend in graceful arcs and curly-cues. Soon they will straighten and harden into tough, unappetizing stalks. But right now, while still curly, they are tender and provide a delightfully subtle garlic flavor in salads, soups, stir-fries, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c8844bdb-d25e-4f80-a72e-6a4788c0c619/half+blue+sky+half+rain.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #4 (6/17/25) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4-ptkyj-ck24a monthly 0.5 2025-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c7ef26ff-086d-4204-b0ce-fa78c49fd3a5/Spinach+and+LambsQuarters.jpeg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #3 (6/10/25) - Make it stand out Henry’s spinach is to the left, and Lamb’s Quarters are to the right.

They may be chopped and eaten raw in a salad or salad dressing, or sauteed or stir-fried. In fact, nearly anything you can do with regular garlic, you can do with green garlic. The result, however, will be milder, sweeter, and fresher-tasting. If you'd rather have more pungency, make a lively green garlic pesto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/892dedb7-383e-409f-a9d6-861355b20526/Green+Garlic+2023.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #2 (6/3/25) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-four-lzwy2-n7zr4 monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f7796dea-e55c-497e-90ff-832532a52a36/Henry+with+Green+Boston+Lettuce.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #1 (5/27/25) - Make it stand out Henry presents a fine specimen of Boston (Butter) Lettuce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1736038696459-YFIOMJMQHF378K5BVKHJ/Golden+Beets+Henry+Zoe.jpg CSA Newsletter Archive - CSA #1 (5/27/25) - Make it stand out Beet greens are very similar to spinach or chard, but even sweeter--and the red stems and red-veined leaves are gorgeous! They are also extremely nutritious--high in vitamins C, A, and K, as well as minerals such as magnesium, manganese, potassium, and iron. And of course they are high in dietary fiber.

Sometimes people are on auto-pilot and inadvertently take one of every different vegetable they see. This means they are taking extra items, meaning some fellow CSA member who come after you won’t get their full allotment. So when you see "OR" on a sign, be sure to take just one thing or the other, not both! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-csa-news-archive/blog-post-title-three-wen4j monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive daily 0.75 2025-12-10 https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e-dmk2n-z2g5e-wxmac-tllmb-4g5zh-kg58r-je5wg-4wfnb-aa6x4-h2g3a-7jgpn monthly 0.5 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2d9f63b2-0de1-4f9f-8b4d-5bbf11d39fa7/popcorn.jpeg Market News Archive - Cast your vote . . . - Make it stand out Here’s a Sneak Preview of what you can order: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2968eb1c-6002-4157-b63a-4666609bbd29/elderberries.jpg Market News Archive - Cast your vote . . . - Make it stand out Thank you for helping us decide on the date, and we look forward to seeing you one more time! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e-dmk2n-z2g5e-wxmac-tllmb-4g5zh-kg58r-je5wg-4wfnb-aa6x4-h2g3a monthly 0.5 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2d9f63b2-0de1-4f9f-8b4d-5bbf11d39fa7/popcorn.jpeg Market News Archive - Pre-Thanksgiving Market and Pre-order Site Coming Soon! - Make it stand out Henry’s Amazing Popcorn is Back, and will be available on the Bulk Order site, coming Monday! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/4ed1e8d7-2cdb-4f0f-864e-84cace5e161f/chinese+cabbage+last+harvest.jpg Market News Archive - Pre-Thanksgiving Market and Pre-order Site Coming Soon! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/980d5b99-a53d-4d75-a21a-3804917333c8/SweetRoseheart.JPG Market News Archive - Pre-Thanksgiving Market and Pre-order Site Coming Soon! - Make it stand out Thank you for another incredible season, and we look forward to seeing you one more time in one week, on Saturday, Nov. 22! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/afe8bd6e-03ae-422b-85cb-160a9a63b260/morado+corn.jpg Market News Archive - Pre-Thanksgiving Market and Pre-order Site Coming Soon! - Make it stand out Montana Morado, one of the new varieties of corn Henry grew this year, and will stone-mill for you on Sunday! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e-dmk2n-z2g5e-wxmac-tllmb-4g5zh-kg58r-je5wg-4wfnb-aa6x4 monthly 0.5 2025-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/15c89db8-ea0d-4b50-ab41-defa10580972/ginger+in+hand.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Nov. 1, the final regular market of the season! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f2c120b4-cf84-4108-9155-3a61353ec89b/rapini+broccoli+raab.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for Nov. 1, the final regular market of the season! - Make it stand out Get 2 bunches of Broccoli Raab for only $6!

He says, “This is a very simple hot sauce recipe, though we're fermenting the peppers first, which may sound complicated, but is not at all!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/25b09315-683c-4329-a4f7-1cd519e772cf/okinawa+sweet+potato+and+potatoes.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Nov. 1, the final regular market of the season! - Make it stand out The many varieties of potatoes Henry dug this morning will all be washed, but he’s not going to wash the sweet potatoes because: 1) There’s not time for them to dry before getting loaded on the truck, and 2) Unwashed sweet potatoes keep better than washed ones. Yes, it’s true! So don’t wash them when you get home. Just keep them on the counter, or in a loose paper bag somewhere above 55 degrees, and wash them just before you’re going to prepare them. This is the first week for Japanese Sweet Potatoes, but the last week for the Purple Okinawan Sweet Potatoes. (It’s also the last week for the pink Amarosa potatoes.) Henry’s cured sweet potatoes will last clear through the spring. So if you want to keep them that long, choose the Ginseng (Henry says it has the best taste), Beauregard (classic orange), or Bonito (white), The Japanese, Okinawan, and Georgia Jet sweet potatoes are partially cured, so they will last until the end of the year, just not clear through the spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c9330c75-bc69-4f21-8545-3aa4ae3c8a19/red+and+green+peppers.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Nov. 1, the final regular market of the season! - Make it stand out Henry says the easiest thing is to freeze them! Just throw whole hot peppers into ziplocks and take one or two out as needed all winter long. And for the sweet peppers, just halve them or cut into chunks and freeze. For the thin-skinned hot peppers (all of them except Poblanos and Jalapenos), you can also dry them on your counter or in a dehydrator. Or you can ferment them, which is actually quite easy — check out the many videos on YouTube. More and more folks are getting into fermentation, and it’s a great way to get natural probiotics into your diet, so give it a try! And here are a few more ideas about ways to use peppers! 1. Grill them. 2. Roast them — use some now and freeze the rest for later. Or put them in a vinegar/oil base to store in your fridge. 3. Make a pepper puree 4. Raw with Dip 5. Stir Fries 6. Fajitas 7. Ratatouille 8. Chili 9. Stuffed Peppers 10.

You can also cut them up and add to stir-fries and soups. Why have you never seen sweet potatoes this small before? Because the conventional food system throws them away. Don’t worry, you will also get the biggest sweet potatoes you have ever seen at the Pre-Thanksgiving market—again, ones that the conventional food system throws away. You get to enjoy this vast range of naturally occurring sweet potato sizes because Henry is not subject to the arbitrary rules of the wholesale markets that dictate the narrow range of acceptable sizes, and lead to unconscionable food waste. Because you are in a direct farmer-to-eater relationship, you get to enjoy small sweet potatoes this week and larger ones later — secure in the knowledge that you are not a party to the rampant food waste prevalent in our country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c9330c75-bc69-4f21-8545-3aa4ae3c8a19/red+and+green+peppers.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 24 - Make it stand out Henry picked a peck of peppers . . . and then another and another and another!

Henry says: “I will keep them on the truck out of the rain so if you want a braid, ask for it.

They can be fried, cubed and roasted, boiled and mashed (although they take longer to cook than a potato), and they are a great addition to soups. In Scotland, where rutabaga are called neeps or swedes, there is a classic lentil soup with rutabaga that will warm you up on a rainy day, which we may have on Saturday! Or try the versatile Rutabaga Hash recipe below, which is great with whatever vegetables you bring home from the market. It makes a quick weekend brunch and is especially good with poached eggs. Or have it as a quick dinner or side dish, with or without the bacon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/edd5b2f1-56c2-468c-8972-c1687db27b28/rutabaga+hash.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 18 - Make it stand out Easy Rutabaga Hash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f1a94b8a-7aef-4509-8f4f-26ff40f8c159/bonfire+tour+2025+sm.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 18 - Make it stand out We couldn’t have asked for a better day, and had a wonderful bonfire and music as evening fell. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e-dmk2n-z2g5e-wxmac-tllmb-4g5zh-kg58r monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/147f0087-5b92-47af-a7b5-f967e212e471/henry+tour+pink.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 11 - Make it stand out This is the Saturday that Henry races up to market (leaving the farm at 1am), sets up his stand, sells for a few hours, and then races back home (leaving the market around 9am) to get home, clean up, and start the farm tours! So do him a favor and come to the market early (ideally before 9am) so that the folks he leaves behind at his farmstand, including his longtime farmhand Caitlyn, can quickly pack things up and have Caitlyn get back on the road down to the farm at a reasonable hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/65ca6614-47bc-46f9-a861-32cb2ec24df8/purple+cauliflower.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 11 - Make it stand out Henry’s brilliant purple cauliflower!

But that flower quickly becomes the edible seed pod. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/77485b32-3412-449a-a8f6-67db6d0a5287/OkraSlices.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 11 - Make it stand out If you’ve been avoiding okra because of “the slime factor,” rest assured there are many ways of cooking it to avoid slime. Pretty much any quick stir-fry in hot oil will sear the edges and eliminate slime. Or you can do a traditional southern favorite and dip the okra in breading before frying. But my current favorite okra preparation is a Pakistani & Indian-style Bhindi Masala (Okra Curry). The author of the recipe below even has a section on her blog entitled “How to Cook Okra without Slime,” so read her tips and enjoy Henry’s okra without fear! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/55485cd5-397e-4ab4-916f-2da8bae524e9/okra+curry.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 11 - Make it stand out Easy and Authentic Bhindi Masala (Okra Curry with Onion and Tomato) from Izza Cheema (recipe and photo) on her blog Tea for Tumeric. She says this curry is typically served with roti, naan, or other bread, but can also be eaten with rice. 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or avocado), plus more, as needed 1 lb okra 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tsp crushed ginger 2 medium tomatoes, cubed 1 tsp salt, divided 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp turmeric powder ¼ to ½ tsp red chili powder 1 or 2 small chili peppers, sliced 1-2 tbsp chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional) 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste Chop the okra into ½ to ¾ inch pieces, discarding the stems. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt on the okra and mix. Set aside. Heat a wide-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add half of the chopped okra. Stir-fry the okra, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the slime disappears and the okra starts to crisp and brown. Sprinkle on a little more salt if you like. Use a slotted spoon to remove the okra from the pan and set it aside. Repeat with the other half of the sliced okra. Heat another 2 tbsp of oil to the pan and place over high heat. Add the onions and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. If the onions start sticking to the bottom of the pan, deglaze with a tablespoon or two of water. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3/4 tsp salt, cumin seeds and spice powders. Add the fried okra and green chili pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Reduce the heat and allow the okra to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, if desired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f22ca884-399d-43fb-bc8e-fbdcf640be9f/Farm+tour+2021.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 11 - Make it stand out It looks like Saturday will be a perfect day for Henry’s Annual Farm Tour and Festivities, but bring a few layers of clothing since it will cool down as evening falls.

For more about Negi (true scallions), and how to tell the difference between scallions and leeks, scroll down to the Food Notes. Hint: it has nothing to do with size! Although last week a customer switched our Leek and Scallion signs because they were so confident that the slender item (actually leeks) were scallions, and the larger, fatter item (actually scallions) were leeks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/6f99ec06-e613-4725-b807-95c905e0405a/carrot+varieties.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out Make a colorful salad with (L to R): Purple Dragon, Rainbow, Orange, and Purple Haze Carrots! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/7063c16b-0ed9-4bdf-aa58-42063c4e8edd/scallions.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out When is a green onion not a green onion? When it’s a scallion, of course. Those pencil thin "scallions" you see in the store are actually immature bulb onions, with none of the sweet, rich flavor of a true scallion like the Japanese Negi that Henry grows The Japanese scallions grow even larger than European scallions, but do not be afraid! They are not overmature or tough, but tender and delicious. They are perfect for grilling and roasting, but can also be used instead of onions in just about any dish. Simply slice or chop them (greens and all) and use in any recipe calling for onions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/5449db2d-65c5-4195-82b8-61f912bf6f44/yaki+negi.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out Scallions are extremely versatile, and great raw, sauteed, or grilled. When cooked in any way, they become silky and mild. They are much better than onions or green onions if you’re grilling or making shish kebabs. The Japanese call scallions “negi” and if you’ve ever had grilled scallions (yaki neg) in a Japanese restaurant, you know how delicious these are — and can DIY at home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/b3b956e9-c884-45bd-b11c-444a5b15384f/LEEKS.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out Henry’s leeks are much slenderer than his scallions this year. That’s because, even in the best of years, Illinois does not have the best climate for leeks, which like a long, wet season like they have in Wales and parts of Germany and elsewhere. Our Illinois summers are too hot and dry, and this year has been extremely hot and dry. In a normal year, our leeks do begin to size up in September when the weather usually begins to get cooler and wetter. But this year September was up in the 80s and 90s, with no rain at all. And the leeks are in a part of the field we can’t get water too, so unless we get some rain soon (unfortunately, that seems unlikely), the leeks will stay thin. Henry says that even though they are not big and fat, they are still good. In fact they are even tastier than big ones because they have less water and more flavor! The moral of this story? Size doesn’t matter. To tell scallions from leeks, look for round leaves (scallions) and flat leaves (leeks). p.s. Henry knows his leeks from his scallions, so don’t go switching his signs at the market ;-) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/7374cea6-372a-4030-80f9-2a972eafae53/kazLeek.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out Henry and his son Kazami in the leek patch — MANY years ago! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/ac323c54-d62e-48d6-83f4-3f470d2136ff/henry%2Btour%2Bfood%2Btable.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Oct. 4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e-dmk2n-z2g5e-wxmac-tllmb monthly 0.5 2025-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f2aadac0-5611-43c2-8fb4-02207cf97fb1/rainbow+horiz.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Sept. 27 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e2cd262a-29dc-4437-b208-fa0387369a2c/peak+tomato+vert.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Sept. 27 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1758250369141-PHN0JRL8AD4G9ZEHDWF5/peck+and+quart+heirloom+tomatoes.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for Sept. 27 - Make it stand out Henry’s heaping pecks of tomatoes are about 16 pounds.

And it’s also the first week for Magic Molly (dark purple inside and out, see picture below), Yukon Gem (similar to Yukon Gold), and Russet potatoes.

But there was a lot of young, tender amaranth coming up in this bed of fall kale, so we harvested it out for you this morning. It’s delicious and nutritious — like spinach, but better! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/362664cb-018d-486b-9277-ceea5bcc9b11/french+breakfast+radish.jpeg Market News Archive - Late-Breaking News for Saturday, Aug. 30 - Make it stand out RADISHES ARE BACK!

They are great for grilling, in salsas, or as a snack with pleasantly crunchy, thick flesh. They are a part of the Capsicum baccatum species, so are different than most other peppers, which are in the Capsicum annuum species. Capsicum baccatum peppers like the Aji Rico originated in ancient Peru and are a common ingredient in Peruvian cuisine, generally used in sauces and for roasting. They are the domesticated pepper of choice not only in Peru, but in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Chile. Try it and let Henry know what you think! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht-4a39e monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/05d37596-b37b-4ae0-829b-416d225ac613/Henry+ChiSunTimes+cover+shot.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out First up, look for a nice article and photos about Henry’s Farm in the Chicago Sun Times tomorrow. Or read the story here. The writer Stefano Esposito, and the photographer Pat Nabong, both did a great job, and the weather last Friday cooperated, providing a misty and mysterious mood to the morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/77485b32-3412-449a-a8f6-67db6d0a5287/OkraSlices.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out It’s another great week for Okra and Edamame, so stock up on these summer favorites! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/6ce8b89f-6d32-46b4-8802-04e9add87232/melons+in+truck.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/721532b1-093a-4866-a66c-6325fd470a65/slick+mustard+greens.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out The Savanna, or “Slick,” Mustard Greens have a great flavor, are tender and not as pungent as curly mustard. Henry said they taste great — more like his favorite choi Komatsu-na than mustard greens. So if you like choi, you’ll love Henry’s Slick Mustard Greens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f8713932-aa61-4056-aafb-d627c1d9c911/ruby+streaks+and+mizuna.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out The feathery Green Mizuna is equally good raw in salads, or briefly cooked in soups, stir-fries, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1752541634859-REFXG091HLEALWGQF8T5/Henry+washing+purslane.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out Wild greens are much more nutritious than their domesticated cousins, so get a big bunch of purslane like those that Henry’s washing above, and toss in with your fall greens — or with a cucumber salad, potato salad, egg salad, or any salad or stir-fry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/147f0087-5b92-47af-a7b5-f967e212e471/henry+tour+pink.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 30 - Make it stand out We look forward to showing you where (and how and why) all Henry’s delicious vegetables come from on the second Saturday in October! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t-t7mht monthly 0.5 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/066485e3-68a6-48c1-8f46-2f0ca9e5d6e9/Churro+dug+potatoes.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 23 - Make it stand out Bears?

Just our goofy dog Churro, a Black-Mouthed Cur (a real breed, not a Shakespearean insult) whose instincts led him to dig up a whole section of Henry’s potato patch while hunting for voles. But considering the damage voles can do (below), it’s not a bad trade-off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a979a2b4-8665-4c64-98af-df80709e9cf9/vole+eaten+potatoes.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 23 - Make it stand out What does all this vole-damage and Churro-damage mean for you?

Ingredients Leaves from one bunch of Red Shiso 4 cups water 1 cup sugar (adjust to your taste) ½ cup apple cider vinegar (adjust to your taste) Dilute with cold water or sparkling water To Make Aka Shiso Syrup Rinse the Shiso Leaves Put the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the leaves and simmer for 5 minutes on medium heat. The cooking liquid will turn purple while the leaves turn green. Turn off the heat and remove the shiso leaves, keeping the cooking liquid in the pot. You can squeeze the leaves to get all the goodness out of them. Turn the heat back on, add sugar, and stir until dissolved. Add apple cider vinegar. Turn off the heat and let cool. Pour the cooled syrup into a jar and keep in the fridge or freezer. Whenever you want to make a drink, mix syrup and water or sparkling water to your taste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a2c958d6-2291-4c70-9df4-7bef6668665d/green+shiso+leaves.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 23 - Make it stand out Shiso seems like a specialty herb, but it’s really not that exotic. It’s in the mint family, and is versatile, with flavors that complement all sorts of things. A few ideas are below, but get creative and add shiso to whatever you are making. Shiso Pesto: I usually throw a handful of shiso leaves into whatever herb pesto I’m making to add a little more depth. You can also make a pure shiso pesto and use on pasta, sandwiches, crackers, and in veggie dips. Potatoes: Chop finely. Mix with olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub over raw potato cubes or slices. Bake in the oven. Shiso Steak: Chop shiso finely. Mix with a little sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey. Slather over your steak after grilling. Grilled Shiso Chicken: Get chicken legs or thighs. Salt them, then wrap in shiso leaves and grill. Shiso Salad Dressing: Just add finely chopped shiso to your favorite Green Goddess (or other) salad dressing. Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce: a flavorful all-purpose condiment for any savory dish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a2c958d6-2291-4c70-9df4-7bef6668665d/green+shiso+leaves.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 23 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h-2pc3t monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2fcd87e5-068a-41e9-96c7-d82bee7bcc39/Henry+and+golden+producer+watermelons.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out If you’d like to help save seeds for Henry, here are the rules, which you MUST follow: 1. Make sure the seeds you are saving are from a Golden Producer, not some other yellow watermelon. 2. Rinse the seeds so they are not sticky. 3. Dry the seeds completely, and bring to Henry dry, not in a wet paper towel or moist baggie. If they are moist they will mold and rot and be useless. Henry has noticed a few non-Golden Producer watermelons in his patch this year, which could be because someone mixed in some other seeds. Henry can usually distinguish the different melons based on their outer appearance, but he can be fooled. So you may get a red watermelon instead of a Golden Producer, but it will still be delicious! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1735766999345-L62K092KKIOKAPOKUDTM/tomatoes+at+market.JPG Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out The tomatoes are finally ramping up, so stock up on all your favorite varieties this week! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e5ddf58f-05b1-4857-b8e4-74b0ef176583/malabar+spinach.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e1778c14-76ce-4c5e-9437-3b37e606b063/Red+Shiso+-+sm.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out Red Shiso makes a beautiful, delicious, and healing drink. Henry said Hiroko experimented making the healing elixir with a mix of shiso varieties, but only the pure red drink prevents his muscle cramps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a2c958d6-2291-4c70-9df4-7bef6668665d/green+shiso+leaves.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1736013174823-GZ83S6HKSKOAR9M35O8C/Zoe+with+Lemon+Basil.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 16 - Make it stand out The aroma of a bunch of Lemon Basil will surely make you smile and lift your spirits — as it did for Henry and Hiroko’s daughter Sora in this photo from a few years ago. (It also tastes great!) https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza-tjf9h monthly 0.5 2025-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/62e7c71b-5748-424c-b28b-ac22b235a534/colored+beans+in+hand.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 9, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2968eb1c-6002-4157-b63a-4666609bbd29/elderberries.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 9, 2025 - Make it stand out I will have lots of elderberries this week — look for the blackboard announcing a special price when you buy two.

And we are getting very close to the end of the beets and carrots—until the fall plantings are ready to harvest months from now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/db25e765-5fd9-4847-80b8-f0a7a25e9196/drip+tape+irrigation+dusty+soil+sm.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 9, 2025 - Make it stand out Speaking of fall crops, we finally got our first fall planting in this week. That's two to three weeks behind when I try to start fall plantings, but it was too hot and too dry — and then during the cool weather last week, it was too wet. Now it's too hot again. We watered everything right after planting to try to get the seeds germinated, and the plants up and growing quickly. “Everything” included beets, carrots, chard, arugula, mustards, kales, chois, radishes, turnips, lettuce, and more. Weather permitting, I will plant every week from now through mid-September. But it is already so late that I can only plant beets and carrots one more time. And this was the first and last chance for me to sow radicchio, napa cabbage, broccolini, and rutabaga. So we will hope for the best. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y-6gtza monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/5ea2282d-05d0-47aa-bed8-4c0236aeac19/heirloom+tomatoes.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1754007631069-R09OSF3QA4MA24LDU543/greenhouse+tomatoes.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out This greenhouse is NOTHING like Henry’s hoophouse, and the tomatoes grown in places like this taste nothing like Henry’s hoophouse tomatoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/d2760c09-e88f-4405-93e7-72f0e4da07a1/terra+hoophouse+beets+young+tomatoes.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out The hoophouse tomatoes (right side) have their first trellis twine and are growing strong before the field tomatoes are in the ground. (Henry plants early beets in between the tomato rows in the hoophouse and harvests them out for you in May and early June, before the tomato plants overshadow them.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1735766999345-L62K092KKIOKAPOKUDTM/tomatoes+at+market.JPG Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e35bf777-d0fe-4c50-a1dc-03221c2f8e31/Henry+and+Basil.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out Henry is bringing up lots of beautiful Italian Basil from a new planting. He will keep the varieties separate so that you can get the Noga variety if you want. Henry said it is the best-smelling, best-tasting kind he’s ever grown, BUT it will wilt if you try keeping it in a glass of water on the counter as you can do with other varieties. Henry says his other varieties are perfectly fine, and will keep well on the counter in a glass of water like a bouquet. But the Noga is amazing, and you will probably consume it before it has a chance to wilt anyway! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/60d800d8-f9a3-4b39-a624-fecc3daddac3/Bushels+of+beans.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out Lots of delicious beans!

The bulbs are very small, but don’t let that dissuade you! Each little clove contains more flavor than a whole bulb of regular garlic, and has robust spicy notes that are positively addicting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/bb2efe33-4e76-4b08-b374-3a6943929fb3/Slicer+cucumbers.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for August 2, 2025 - Make it stand out Don’t overlook Henry’s CUCUMBERS!

His first thought was that he’d have to go get the chainsaw, but then he figured his trusty market truck could barrel through if he ran partway over the top part of the tree and part way off the lane. It worked, but then the first thing he did upon returning home around 5:30pm was get the chainsaw and cut it up to move it off the lane. From last Thursday through the early hours of Monday, Henry’s farm got a total of about 5 inches of rain. And I think we got a few more inches since then. The heavy rains have come at a bad time for the melons, and could affect their flavor (more water = less flavor), and could also lead to vine diseases causing the plants to die prematurely. But we’re crossing our fingers all ends well, and are grateful that we will not have to water any crops for a good, long time now. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623-fl87y monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2782b302-944b-4658-ba16-2eeaf963ba42/artist+painting.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/96e4d286-a79b-41c0-8a00-2a6c4e9836fe/Henry+stand+watercolor+painting.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out We are so happy that our longtime market friends Joe and Paul bought the original.

The smooth, white flesh is ideal for mashed potatoes, but also great for roasting, boiling, and frying. It’s also the first week for ITALIAN SWEET PEPPERS, pictured below, & HALF-PRICE 2nds, too! For some reason (probably the terrible heat and humidity), there are a lot of Italian sweet peppers with blossom end rot. If you want a great deal, buy the 2nds for half price, then cut off the little bit of black at the tips, and you have perfect peppers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/3e7799f7-1e39-4af8-8ff1-ee2eaf375b0b/Italian+Sweet+Peppers.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/b5565cbe-cc08-4027-9a99-f36bfb4a3aac/many+varieties+Cucumbers.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out Henry’s COOL CUCUMBERS include the regular American Cucumbers, the long Japanese Cucumbers, and the bronze-skinned, crunchy Poona Kheera, an Indian heirloom Cucumber that you should try if you haven’t already! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/2fb8881a-d453-4bef-9b77-fdd1993a9039/Asian_Cucumber_Salad.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out Quick Cucumber Salad! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/7eae5067-02e5-43c9-942e-d9b191e33fd5/rain+clouds+and+trees.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 26, 2025 - Make it stand out Henry’s Farm got a lovely 84/100 inch of much-needed rain on Saturday, for which we are grateful. You will see the results of the rain in the greens (kale and radicchio), as well as in the plump and juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, and much more at Henry’s stand this week. We also had a brief thunderstorm around 6 this evening, which didn’t give us much rain, but did end the bean harvest, which will resume tomorrow. Henry is hoping for more rain tonight and in the coming days. After this week of brutal highs in the 90s, the vegetables need some relief, and the humans do, too! It may rain this Saturday, but Henry says just grab your rain coat or umbrella and come on out! Right now, the forecast is for the rain to start around noon, so come early and it’s likely you won’t get wet. See you Saturday! https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h-n4lyf-an623 monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/08e44dc5-1767-4494-a989-d1771445227c/sun+gold+ripening.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 19, 2025 - Make it stand out The SunGold skins pop when you bite, and then the sweet, bright flavors explode in your mouth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e615e08b-e15e-4c93-b37b-5f400249529c/shishito+at+the+market.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 19, 2025 - Make it stand out OTHER FIRSTS of the Season: SHISHITO and JALAPENO PEPPERS - If you missed the few Japanese Shishito Peppers that Henry harvested last week, there will be more this week. And most likely some Jalapeno’s too . . . perfect for salsa! GROUND CHERRIES - These husked fruits are addictive! VALENCIA ONIONS - The large bulbs have sweet, white flesh that is excellent raw in salads, gazpacho, salsa, etc. Get a bunch of both the Valencia and the Walla Walla, do a taste test, and then let Henry know next week which you prefer and why. SWEET CORN! Just a small amount, so come early! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/41c07cd9-5d05-4f2b-93ab-f4926becda2f/Bud+signing+off.JPG Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 19, 2025 - Make it stand out MALABAR SPINACH (pictured below) was a favorite of our long-time friend Bud (pictured above). In fact, Henry hasn’t grown it since Bud passed away, but is growing it this year in his honor. It is one of the few greens that not only survive but thrive in hot, dry weather like we’ve had lately, and which will continue for at least another few weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/e5ddf58f-05b1-4857-b8e4-74b0ef176583/malabar+spinach.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 19, 2025 - Make it stand out The burgundy stems and glossy green leaves of Malabar Spinach are beautiful and delicious, and can be used raw or cooked, in salads, stir-fries, and more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/f19d5b0d-56de-4bb1-a2b6-0da38f622115/baby+kale+starts.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 19, 2025 - Make it stand out Yesterday Henry and and his farmhands put starts of fall broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and radicchio in the ground. It looked and smelled like rain, but only a few drops fell, so they watered it in today. Although this is the time of year Henry normally starts seeding fall crops like carrots and lettuce, the soil is way too hot, and would burn up any seedlings that germinated. He needs just 3 or 4 cooler days with highs in the mid-80s to start seeding fall crops, but it looks like we’ll have another week or two of highs in the 90s. Henry says as long as we can get those fall seeds in the ground before the beginning of August, they will catch up and provide you with lots of good eating come autumn.

Don’t let the bronze skin of the Poona Keera fool you — they are not over-mature, but perfectly ripe, juicy, and delicious! HEIRLOOM BEANS - both the heirloom Dragon Tongue Beans, and Henry’s variety of Roma (Italian Flat Beans) TOMATOES and CHERRY TOMATOES - just a smattering, Henry says, and you won’t see them unless you come super-early. But they are definitely on the way, and you’ll see more and more each week! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/97eacc98-ee01-4bb9-a4db-7e1f844fcc61/walla+walla+onions.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 12, 2025 - Make it stand out DON’T MISS OUT ON: ONIONS and SHALLOTS, including the super-sweet Walla Wallas above. Henry doesn’t grow enough onions to have dry ones for you throughout the season, so stock up on your favorite varieties now, and store them in the fridge or out on your counter to use in the coming weeks and months. MORE FENNEL! Henry thanks you for taking home all of the big planting of fennel he brought to the market last week, but the next planting is ready now, so you’ll see more big, beautiful bulbs. BEETS CARROTS SUMMER SQUASHES and of course, freshly-harested GARLIC! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/33a7d522-0bd3-4500-8541-6effc7267b46/garlic.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 12, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a563281e-45c7-47b4-a39c-4f65514633a8/baby+green+amaranth.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 12, 2025 - Make it stand out This is a bunch of Amaranth Greens from earlier in the season, and the bunches you see at the market this week will be bigger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/63b43b4d-a658-4e22-8ba8-94e2455677a4/Garlic+on+rack+in+field.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 12, 2025 - Make it stand out Although there were a lot of thunderstorms popping up on Tuesday evening, and heavy rain not far from us, we only got a scant half-inch, which really wasn’t enough to help the water-stressed vegetables. But on the bright side, as Henry always says, “less water means more flavor!” https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2-xs2tg-gpdsp-nhw2h monthly 0.5 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/af656658-4bd4-4428-aeab-833d8b0500ec/purple+eggplant.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/afa73866-1475-4769-a68a-54625e03227b/dew+on+purslane.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out This is the week to get creative with your salads! Although there’s no more lettuce (until fall), there is a little radicchio (last of the season), plus a lot of great-looking purslane (see photo above). Just like lettuce, purslane is great on sandwiches and in salads. But unlike lettuce, it’s super-high in healthy Omega-3s! Try this recipe for a Turkish Purslane Salad with Garlic-Yogurt Dressing. Henry says it’s the LAST week for CABBAGE, and getting near the end of the FENNEL season, so stock up and use those in salads, too. It’s also a great week for BIG BEETS, so make a big beet salad! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/bfcef905-3194-4d1a-9f3e-2f4af859e374/big+beets.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out Here’s what Henry just texted me: “Do not be afraid of big beets. All the beets came from the same bed, meaning big beets aren't older than the small ones, they are just the happier and healthier ones. And healthier and happier means more nutrients, and therefore more flavor.” So remember, at Henry’s stand, big does not mean tough or old; it means happy, healthy, sweet, tender, and full-flavored. It also means more meals for your money! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1736030349713-FEVW3UK56CMYKPZSXZ6G/Green+beans.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out It’s the first week for: Green Beans Japanese Eggplant the first sweet and tender Yellow Crookneck and Pattypan Squashes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/47f2c968-2d7e-4386-966d-f6fe4e2fddf5/Fat+Fennel+in+Henry%27s+Field.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out Henry says the past weeks of very hot weather along with some nice rains have pushed the fennel to grow large and to mature quickly. That means you’ll see A LOT OF FENNEL at the market this week, but not much after this week. Henry reminds you that it stores well in your refrigerator for many weeks, so take advantage of his special prices when you buy 2 or more bulbs, and stock up this Saturday! Check out the recipes below and make a big fennel salad that you can enjoy all week long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/1751588699427-C1QSFHCU51RT6SZ4P3XB/3fennel.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/3ff27d40-8097-4299-bbd3-6c3fbede6577/fennel+salad+recipe.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for July 5, 2025 - Make it stand out And here's a similar recipe we brought to a potluck recently.

Henry will have lots of beautiful radicchio this week, and for a few more weeks, but it's the LAST WEEK FOR LETTUCE! Because of the extreme heat and humidity this past week, a lot of the lettuce got tip burn, meaning the cells at the very tips and edges of some leaves have died. Henry said he normally wouldn't harvest those heads, but because the lettuce still tastes great, and because he wants to be able to offer it to you one last week before the 2+ month hiatus over the hottest part of the summer, he's going to take out the bad leaves, and bag up the good ones. So look for the bagged loose leaf lettuce, and enjoy it, since you won't get Henry's lettuces again until August or September. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a02885b4-b184-48dc-942f-98b3d465ca4c/red+merlot+onions.JPG Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 28, 2025 - Make it stand out Normally, the alliums don't explode until the Fourth of July or after, but they're early this year, thanks to the big rains and high heat. So this week you'll see an incredible array of gorgeous alliums, including the Cabernet Red above, as well as White, and Walla Walla Sweets! It’s also the first week for: Scallions Summer Leeks 4 varieties of Shallots, including the French Griselle, the one true shallot! 3 varieties of bulb Garlic. Although the bulbs are full-size, they haven't dried down yet, so the cloves are extra sweet and juicy, and the papery clove skins haven't fully formed yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/c9053618-3256-40dc-895d-963773a4d658/Sophie+and+Beets.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 28, 2025 - Make it stand out And it’s the FIRST WEEK for: Beets from the field, including the Golden Grex and Rainbow (above). Because of the rains, the beets are large, and so are the bunches. So they are a great deal, with weighty beets, and vibrant greens! Gorgeous full-size bulbs of FENNEL! Summer Squashes from the field -- probably just a few of the first tender patty pan, zephyr, and yellow crookneck, plus some yellow and green zucchini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/fd499177-2a1a-4fff-8c78-adcc89edb023/Red+Cabbage.png Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 28, 2025 - Make it stand out Follow us on Instagram @henrysfarmpics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/a4123a2a-886a-4d06-a1ad-66a33f0b8742/henry+bunching+field+beets.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 28, 2025 - Make it stand out This whole week, the highs were in the 90s, with the humidity about the same. The overnight lows only fell to the mid-70s, and by 8am it was back in the 80s, and soon back up in the 90s. Henry is not one to complain, but he said the effect is definitely cumulative. Every day, his body had to work hard, not just to do the intense physical labor, but to keep him cool. Then he goes home and it takes a while for the house to cool overnight (no AC), so he doesn't get a good night's sleep. Then he gets up at dawn to do it all over again. Even Henry admits that a week of that takes its toll.

Because of the healthy soil, full of spongy organic matter and all manner of life forms, most of the rain soaked in nicely, with just a little runoff. The creek came way up, but luckily the bottomland fields were not flooded. So things are looking good as we enter into the coming week with highs in the mid-90s. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025-3b2r2 monthly 0.5 2025-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/95d9662e-3795-46f0-bb05-9054b42c60c1/black+currants.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 14, 2025 - Make it stand out Black currants (Ribes nigrum) have tons of Vitamin C and can be used in desserts, drinks (Cassis!), and herbal medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/edef3c2f-97a1-463a-8a1f-2e3b36108f15/hard+to+beet+Red+Beets.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 14, 2025 - Make it stand out A big shout out to Susan Treacy for taking these wonderful photos at Henry’s farm stand.

And it's a good thing too, because Henry needs every minute of light to do all the farm work -- from , liberating the baby squash and melon plants from the weeds, to mulching the potatoes, to pruning and trellising and mulching the tomatoes, to cutting, raking and baling hay. Sometimes keeping up with the weeds seems an unwinnable battle -- but we fight it any way -- because that is what we do. https://www.henrysfarm.com/henrys-evanston-market-newsletterarchive/henrys-06072025 monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/19eefe0b-f47c-4d68-b8a5-57df098eedf7/Amazing+Wall+Lettuce+sign.jpeg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 7, 2025 - Make it stand out Come one, come all! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/cfa1215f-bc9b-4eab-8d5b-8a2140cb3747/overwintered+spinach+sm.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 7, 2025 - Make it stand out Spinach has a very short season, so freeze some now to enjoy later! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67718dd337863f751ad50502/d19d7613-b1c0-495f-a606-464c3caffdf6/storm+with+double+rainbow.jpg Market News Archive - Market Notes for June 7, 2025 - Make it stand out After marathon days of planting summer crops (corn, beans, edamame, okra, summer squashes, melons, and more) on Sunday and Monday, we got 2.6 inches of perfectly timed rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. Henry says: "It came slow enough that it wasn't too much. That much in 2 hours, which happens, is a flood.
