Hi, VOH Buddies! Leek season has arrived at View of Heaven, and we couldn’t be more excited! Our garden is growing beautiful, delicious leeks that are ready to make their way into the kitchen. If you’ve never cooked with leeks before, think of them as a close relative of onions and garlic—but with a wonderfully mild, slightly sweet flavor. They belong to the Allium family and are a delicious way to add extra flavor to all kinds of meals. Before cooking with fresh leeks, give

Hello, my VOH Buddies! As our spring is in full bloom, we have more wonderful veggies bursting in our farm. I want to introduce to you, our garlic lovers dream. We at VOH have an abundance of garlic scapes. You may be wondering what they are. Garlic scapes are the long, green curled shoots that grow from the base of hardneck garlic plants.

Hello, my VOH Buddies! Spring is popping, and so is our garden—yay! I’m so excited to introduce a superstar veggie we’re growing right here at VOH. It’s fresh, flavorful, and seriously delicious—meet green garlic (aka garlic scallions)! Harvested early in the season before the bulbs form, it has a mild, slightly sweet, garlicky kick that’s hard to resist. We whipped up a batch of green garlic pesto at home, and wow… it disappeared fast! We tossed it with pasta and even spread
