These are some cute little cukes. Crisp and refreshing, although maybe not quite as sweet out of the greenhouse as they will be from the field come summer.
Over the winter, Nichols Farm added a couple greenhouses to their already impressive amount. In these greenhouses, they plant directly into the earth giving them the both the protection of a greenhouse and the amazing soil they have cultivated over many seasons. With this, they are able to perform the magic act of having cucumbers and tomatoes available in the middle of May.
To double down on cucumber-iness, recently I’ve been making a cucumber sauce (tzatziki) to dip slices of cucumber into. It’s been pretty tasty.
