Hello, my VOH Buddies! This week, I'm excited to share a delicious family recipe featuring one of our most nutrient-dense vegetables— Swiss Chard!

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
