Bread

Storage Tip - Keep your bread cut side down in a bag on your counter for two to three days. At that point you will want to slice or rip/cut your bread into pieces and freeze for future toast, croutons, or panzanella! If it’s particularly hot, you may want to move it to the refrigerator after a day or two (the only time we will tell you to refrigerate bread).

Eggs

Pastured Eggs - Finn's Ranch (Buchanan, MI)

Storage Tip - You can freeze your eggs to make them last longer. Crack and scramble in a container, or crack whole into oiled muffin tins, and keep frozen for up to 6 months.

This Week’s Fresh Produce:

Urban Canopy Curried Carrots - The Urban Canopy - Processing (Garfield Park, Chicago, IL)
Storage Tip - Jams, preserves and pickled items, should be stored away from the sunlight and in a cool space. For items that are shelf stable, the button on the lid should be compressed and pop when opened showing the jar has been properly processed and sealed.. Once open, store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. In general, pickled items are best used within 12 months for better flavor and texture but will be safe to eat for 2-3 years.

Lettuce Mix or Microgreens - Enhanced Earth Farming (Streamwood IL)
Storage Tip - The lettuce will come in a plastic bag, remove your greens from the bag and store them in a plastic container or bag with a paper towel covering them for up to a week in the fridge.

Parsnips - Frillman Farms (Berrien Springs, MI)
Storage Tip - Keep in a plastic bag in the crisper for up to a few weeks.

Onions - Garden Gate Farm (Fairbury, IL)
Storage Tip - Keep cool, dry and out of direct light, on your counter, in a cupboard or in a perforated paper bag, for a few weeks.

Pears - Frillman Farms (Berrien Springs, MI)
Storage Tip - Keep at consistent temperature on the counter for up to a week, or in the crisper for up to a month.

Broccoli - Nichols Farm and Orchard (Marengo, IL)
Storage Tip - Broccoli should be stored in the fridge. It is best not stored in an air-tight container since it needs air flow to avoid accumulating moisture. You can wrap it a damp paper towel or stored like a bouquet with the stem in a glass of water.
