Tasty and Healthy - January 24, 2013


Bringing you sweet wishes for an enjoyable week. Hope you and yours are doing well and taking pleasure in the little things.

To the left, Kale and Grilled Chicken Breast sandwich, recipe below.

Winter Salads are delicious! I've been enjoying salads consisting of romaine, baby bok choy and kale, and all the accompanying goodies. Add a little Feta or Goat cheese, olives and olive oil, or your favorite dressing - mmmm! Yummy! Recipe below

NOTE: Many of the winter crops on the farm are struggling with unseasonably warm temperatures. We may have a short season if these very warm temperatures continue.

To see which Winter Crops are currently being harvested on Beasley Farm, please see the highlighted areas below. 

How about freezing our pesticide-free greens while they are in season so they can be enjoyed all year long? See our web page for more information on how to freeze greens.

Because Collards (shown below) belong to the Cruciferous Family, they are extremely healthful and versatile, full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Please click here for information about Greens.


Because Greens are extremely perishable, we ask our customers to special order them if picking up at a satellite location. At the farm, we keep them in children's swimming pools of water.

Currently planted on the farm, but not yet ready for harvest:

  • Red and White Swiss Chard
  • Broccoli
  • Spinach
  • Beets
If interested in fresh-frozen SHELLED black-eye peas please phone the farm to place an order. Peas are in our standard two pound bag. $8 per bag.

As always, please feel free to phone the farm for special requests or special orders. We'll do everything we can to accommodate you. If you need something from the Farmers Market in Plant City, it is best to phone by Wednesday afternoon.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services visits to our farm regularly to test our soil and plants. For more information about our farming techniques, and the testing we undergo, please click here


A big thanks from Gran'ma Angie for recycling your shopping bags with us. Please keep them coming!
