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!
Butternut Squash and Potato Soup
Produce Box Vegetables: Red Potatoes, Butternut Squash
“This soup makes a big batch, and I think the flavor even improves a little after spending a day or two in the fridge. So if there’s anyone you’re trying to get more squash into, I highly recommend you whip this up.”

Minty Fruit Salad
Produce Box Vegetables: Melon, Peaches, Pears
“Summer is the season of stone fruit — juicy cherries, sweet peaches, perfect plums. Add a little mint and honey and you’ve got an amazing summer salad that is a turn away from the usual melon-heavy versions popular on picnic tables and at barbecues.”
Zucchini and Corn Fritters
Produce Box Vegetables: Zucchini (Summer Squash), Fresh Corn
“If you grow your own summer squash, belong to a CSA, or just shop at a farmers market, the weekly haul of zucchini and corn can be overwhelming. Our solution? Shred it, squeeze it, mix it into a cheesy batter, and fritter it away. Literally. Next thing you know, you’ll be wanting even more.”
Roasted Eggplant Sabich Sandwiches
Produce Box Vegetables: Eggplant, Cucumber
“Sabich, a popular Israeli street food, is a pita-busting combination of a bunch of great appetizers. To serve these to a group, you can set out the assorted fillings on individual plates and platters and let guests build their own.”
