onion, mushroom, apple puffs
Crafted with care using locally sourced produce from our own farms, these puff pastry bites capture the essence of winter with earthy mushrooms, sweet onions, and crisp apples. Not only do these puffs tantalize your taste buds, but they also support local agriculture, making them a delicious and sustainable choice.
sunchoke and arugula salad
This salad is a celebration of vibrant flavors, bringing together Jerusalem artichokes (also known as sunchokes) and peppery arugula, finished off with a sprinkle of savory Parmesan cheese. Despite the name "Jerusalem artichoke," this vegetable is actually a type of sunflower tuber and holds no relation to traditional artichokes. The earthy, nutty taste of sunchokes pairs splendidly with the slight bitterness of arugula, creating a refreshing and wholesome salad. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a delightful umami touch, resulting in a simple yet satisfying dish that's both flavorful and nutritious.
tomato pie
The tomato pie recipe from Saving Room for Dessert is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a summer day. The sweetness of the ripe tomatoes, the saltiness of the bacon, and the creaminess of the cheese all combine to create a flavorful and satisfying pie. The addition of basil adds a fresh, herbal flavor that complements the other ingredients.
roasted broccoli and smashed root veggies
This vegan take on a winter staple takes advantage of fresh broccoli that grows well through our NC winters and is flexible enough to go with any root veggie. This dish is full of texture and flavor. Root vegetables make it filling enough to be a main dish of it’s own right. Using cashew “cheese” instead of parmesan makes it fully vegan. If you eat meat or dairy you can mash the roots traditionally with cheese or butter and eat this as a side dish for any savory or sweet meat dish.
roasted potatoes with ricotta and microgreens
The perfect recipe for small potatoes, this simple baked potato is best topped with just ricotta and fresh microgreens for a lightly flavored but filling side dish. Remember, all our produce is hyper-local and grown with good for the earth best practices, so even potatoes can be a healthy and new year’s resolution friendly option!
garlic parm sweet potatoes
This simple dish is a great savory way to use this NC fall staple in a new way. With garlic and parmesan cheese, this is not the traditional sweet side dish but rather a savory combo that works well alongside vegetarian or meat filled main meals.
Crustless Zucchini Quiche
Quiche is one of the most flexible dishes. You can eat this fancy egg casserole for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This quiche calls for a healthy filling of sliced of fresh zucchinis and field tomatoes. Use dairy or vegan cheese and make it gluten free by going crustless if you are trying to lighten up your summer diet.
Sungold Tomato Campanelle
This vegetarian pasta dish makes the most of the fresh summer flavor of our favorite sungold tomatoes. Make it vegan by using your favorite vegan shredded cheese instead of parmesan.
Summer Zucchini and Tomato Gratin
This Summer Zucchini and Tomato Gratin is simple yet flavorful layers of fresh veggies and topped with a cheese.
Baked Zucchini Sticks

This healthy dish can be a snack, side dish or the main vegetarian dinner and can flex to use as many zucchini as you have on hand. They are best served hot out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce!
