Passover and Easter Eggs




Happy Spring!

Be sure to stock up on high-quality, farm fresh eggs for Easter and Seder dinners.

From Sweet Bread to quiche, our local, free-range birds offer a higher quality egg which is richer in beta caratene and lower in cholesterol - and tastes better to boot!

Eggs are available at the flowershop m-f 9-4, or visit our web: TheDahliaFarm.com

WILTED GREENS...? JUST GIVE THEM A DRINK!


MY LEAFY GREENS HAVE GONE WILTY, WHAT CAN I DO...?

Because we do not treat our produce with a chemical preservative, this will naturally happen. The process is called transpiration, which is kind of like sweating.

Plants draw moisture through their stems by means of cellular constriction (like a snake digesting an animal). The excess water then evaporates out the tops of their leaves.

Treat your fresh-cut leaf vegetables like cut flowers. Give the stems a fresh cut (at an angle) and place them in a glass or vase of water. They will perk right back up and look wonderful again, lasting for days.

And of course, refridgeration always helps - but only after they've revived.
