Thursday, October 1st:<\/span> Today was the initial harvest of daikon and arugula for a tasting trial; Martha Rosemeyer, and her program Food, Health, and Sustainability<\/em> came to me with an interest in holding a tasting trial around these two crops. After harvesting and washing enough produce for the students, the crops were bunched and cut into portions, with the help of Diane Nelsen, so that each student would get a sample of each variety. In accordance to COVID regulations, these tasting will have to be held remotely which will lead to a plethora of possible issues but we are lucky enough to have devoted students, staff and faculty that are willing to do what is necessary to make this work. In order to get the vegetables to the students, we safely packaged them into ‘kits’ that the students will pick up at the Organic Farm during their normally scheduled farm stand. This will allow for zero contact interactions AND give the students and opportunity to stop by the farm market stand to buy additional produce while supporting the farm! Thank you to everyone involved in making all of this possible. We will continue to harvest and distribute the tasting kits in this manner for all future tastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results of Martha’s remote tasting:<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With respect to daikon, ‘Artemisia’ was the spiciest = 5 and most preferred for fresh eating, with ‘Minowase Summer’ as the second preferred, probably by people who didn’t prefer the spiciness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  With respect to arugula, they articulated that none was particularly spicy.  In preference, ‘Astro’ was number 5, most liked.  They liked the toasted, nuttiness– and Uber number 2 with balanced flavor and dissected leaf appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Martha and students! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
