Each week, we take the time to list out all of the possible produce items that you get in your delivery and translate them into recipe ideas for your meal planning inspiration. If you ever find yourself with too many apples, or no idea what to do with radishes, you can always message us on Facebook or Instagram to chat with a Farmhouse employee! We will get back to you with recipe ideas, meal prep guidance, or just a friendly hello!

Old School Classics: Vegetarian Mushroom Meatball Subs

Bushel Vegetables: mushrooms, onion, kale (substitute for spinach)

“Once baked, heat up marinara sauce, add the meatballs, and then assemble them in buns with basil and (optionally) grated parmesan cheese. Note: this recipe is best when served in soft buns or baguette – nothing too crusty; these little veggie balls are more smush-able than a regular meaty meatball.”

Berry Salad: Triple Berry Kale Salad with Creamy Strawberry Poppyseed Dressing

Bushel Vegetables: strawberries, lettuce, kale, add thinly sliced cabbage or bok choy for more crunch

“Triple Berry Kale Salad with Creamy Strawberry Poppyseed Dressing is made with delicious fresh summer berries and is tossed with kale, crunchy almonds and topped with feta cheese.  A healthy and light salad that is perfect for summer!”
