I’ll admit it – I wasn’t sure what to do with my first bunch of Land’s Sake CSA share beets. Beyond my fond memories of Nana’s cold borscht soup, and well, of course, gefilte fish with (lots and lots of) beet horseradish, I hadn’t gone out of my way for […]

Halloween month may not yet be upon us, but the Weston maples are catching fire and Autumn’s reign is spreading. The Land’s Sake Farmers will tell you, correctly, that the hearty Delicata and Acorn squashes they’ve grown and harvested for us are different varieties of Winter Squash, but I’m just […]
Summer seems to be leaving Land’s Sake just as it came this year – abruptly. Though dusk now falls before closing time, the farm stand is offering what is perhaps the most eclectic produce array of the season. For perhaps this one last week, our farmers are still harvesting summer […]

Land’s Sake gets our corn from Brigham Farms every morning right after it has been picked. It’s a real treat to be able to get corn that’s picked so fresh, because as soon as corn comes off the stalk, the sugars start turning into starches. This is the reason most […]
It may be a small thing to look forward to amid the excitement over tomatoes and sweet corn, but there’s something promising and reinvigorating about the first harvest of fresh onions. Onions are the reliable pantry staple, the steadfast aromatic, and the foundation of a good meal. Land’s Sake is about […]
Fennel grows wild and rampant in the Mediterranean. Eating it is almost like an Italian vacation itself; it’s a little sweet, tastes a bit like anise, and is very refreshing. It’s the pretty girl in a sundress of the apiaceae family, shining past carrots, dill, cilantro, cumin, and parsnips in […]
