Who says winter vegetables are boring? This week, the vibrancy of the colorful veggies is sure to pleasantly surprise you again. We have the deep shades of the carrots, the soft pink-purple of the turnip and the lively greens of the leek and turnip greens. Turnip greens are a sure sign that spring is near: this young foliage can come from various types of cabbage and turnips, and can therefore look different from time to time. Turnip greens are super versatile! Use this often slightly peppery leafy vegetable in a salad, soup or mash, an oven dish or pasta, or they also lend themselves well for stir frying. Basically, you can use them any way you like.
At Hoeve Biesland, your help is needed to get the vegetable garden in tip-top shape. On Sunday, March 12, a vegetable garden day is planned. This day is in the theme of tillage. Raising paths, weeding the milled beds, crushing wood chips, planting, there is more than enough work. Handymen are also welcome for barn and painting work! Sign up through this link.

Bicycle parking
Are you picking up your package from the Gymzaal? Please don’t forget to only place your bicycles in the designated bicycle stands (across the street), to make sure we don’t inconvenience our neighbors. Thank you in advance!
Paying with Timebank hours
You can use Timebank hours to pay for your vegetable package, but also for example for cheese and products from the package-free shop. You can earn Timebank hours by helping out as a volunteer, for example at the market. Want to know more? Check it out here.
Package-free shop
The package free shop is open every Saturday from 11:00 until 13:30. Extended opening hours require more volunteers. Would you like to help? Sign up via this link. More info about the shop can be found here.
