First up – Brand new crop for us this season – WHITE GALANGAL (Thai Ginger) – We’re taking a break from growing our usual ginger + turmeric, so we’re kicking things off with this aromatic root crop this season. Its bright, piney flavor is great in soups and tea. Try swapping a few slices of galangal where you’d normally add ginger in a stir fry. We’re excited to share this with you in abundance!Also brand new to us this season – Heirloom Cushaw Pumpkins – Long lasting, sweet like a butternut squash – these are great for October decorations, and then eat them when you’re done!
