Lovely Veggies at the Cure Organic Farm Stand

Finally got out to the Cure Organic Farm stand at 75th and Valmont today, where they had a lovely assortment of veggies, plus lots of starter plants. In their protective little refrigerators, there was braising mix, salad mix, spicy greens, and pea shoots, while out on the table they had carrots, turnips, strawberries, and head lettuce. Past experience has been that you can never be absolutely sure what will be available (or left, after others have snapped up their purchases), but you'll have a pretty good idea, based on the season and time of day you get there. I think they stock it for opening around 10, and a couple of items had already been erased from the board by a little before noon.

The little stand is pretty well hidden in the trees, a bit west of the southwest corner of 75th and Valmont (watch for the Cure Organic Farm sign hanging at the end of the driveway). Munson's farm stand is practically across the street, on the northwest corner, but their corn crop is the big feature there, so they aren't open yet. With one or both stands open, it makes for a pleasant trip.
