Lets Use Underused Vegetables.

 

L.U.U.V. Days was sponsored in conjunction with the Northeast CT Farmers Market Association at their Danielson Market.  The concept was to introduce the public to vegetables that they might not know how to use, or to demonstrate a new way of using something they were familiar with.  Farmers often get the question, “What is it and what do I do with it?”  We chose Kale, Butternut Squash, Herbs and Beets to prepare and give out free samples.
