How to Store Your Bounty Until Use

Always no matter where your produce & fruits come from, WASH BE FORE USE.


  1. GREENS - Keep greens like swiss chard and mizuna crispy by washing under cold water straight away and then wrapping in a damp clean dishtowel. Store in the crisper of a produce draw of your fridge until ready to use.

  2. TOMATOES - NEVER be refrigerated as it changes the texture and flavor. Best to leave on a window sill in the kitchen.

  3. BEETS - Break off tops and store as a green (note above). The beets themselves will keep without the tops much longer especially in the fridge. The greens are 100% delicious! Eat them first and then the bottoms as you like.

  4. CUCUMBERS - Store unpeeled in the fridge.

  5. EGGPLANT - Store in the fridge or out of the fridge if using within a day or two. FRESH eggplant most likely will have thorns on stem. Be careful they don't bite you!

  6. PATTY PAN SUMMER SQUASH - a play on yellow summer squash, use the same way, or try a new cooking way too! Extremely versatile, and flavorful squash. Keep on counter top for up to 3 days or refrigerate if room allows to keep longer.

  7. CAULIFLOWER - If Available for harvest. Store in the fridge, soak in a salt water solution in a mixing bowl for 15 mins before use. We do NOT spray, and it is caterpillar season. Do not be alarmed. WE Believe the percentage to be quite low, but would recommend the soaking as a precaution. You may simply look as you chop as an alternative.


Remember! Ask questions at pickup - it's our time to talk.
