Summerland- Farm to Frontdoor

03/20/2015

To our beloved Summerland customers:

It is with acute sadness that we are reaching out to say that Summerland will pause its operations beginning March 21st.

The life of a small business is nonstop: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That doesn't leave time for reflecting or planning. We've reached a point in the business where we want to take a step back and assess the next steps forward.

We started Summerland because we believe in connecting through local, fresh, honest food. But really it's about people: our customers, our farmers, our friends and family were our core inspiration. Their support continues to drive us forward. Thank you for bringing Summerland into your kitchens and allowing us to fulfill our mission.

Please don't hesitate to contact us directly with any questions or concerns. And rest assured, we will be in touch soon.

Cheers,
Alejandro

Founder / CEO

Happy ! Here's a link to one of our favorite recipes, featuring : http://www.summerland.is/recipes/caramelized-romanesco-with-chili-flakes-toasted-almonds

What's your favorite way to prepare romanesco?

2. *IMPORTANT* turn flame off and add romanesco (the reason for turning flame off before adding ingredients is to prevent the flame from the stove igniting the oil in the pan)

Produce Highlight: !

Mustard greens, part of the cruciferous family, offer cholesterol-lowering benefits as well as boosts for the body. Their leaves are peppery in flavor and taste great with a quick sauté in the pan.

Here's a from Bon Appétit Magazine for inspiration: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/spicy-beans-wilted-greens

Two humble ingredients have big impact in this Spicy Beans and Wilted Greens stew: The Parmesan rind adds richness; the dried beans deliver creaminess.
