Arugula salads

So what did I do with all of that lovely arugula from Tait Farm? Made salads of course- thanks to the recipes that were included. Their website has other recipes and serving ideas, and you can mail order their terrific selection of vinaigrettes and preserves.

The radishes were so fresh and crunchy and went well with slices of buttered toasted baguette. The arugula salads were really delicious-a terrific way to enjoy farm fresh vegetables lightly dressed with Lemon Vinaigrette.  

Tait Farm: a final stop

My daughter graduated from college this past weekend and we had such a lovely time exploring the area that surrounds Penn State. The family hiked Mt. Nittany ( This time around I relaxed with a book and enjoyed the quiet surroundings) for the second time- each time the views more beautiful, and we said goodbye to our favorite farm stand- Tait Farm. On a return trip to pack up the college grad, a quick stop at the farm for some fresh arugula and radishes and of course some of their homemade preserves.

Look at those radishes! And the arugula is peppery and so delicious. Lemon Vinaigrette, Raspberry Shrub (great with lemonade), and Blueberry Preserves.
