Artichoke Farm Cookathon Saturdays While in Season

Hollister St, Imperial Beach CA

17 April, 2021

Description

Do you love artichokes? Ever had them fresh off the plant? Yum! They are coming on like crazy now, at the Blue Wave Victory Garden. Come out on Saturday 11AM - 2PM and join in on the cooking and dining fun. If Sunday or another day of the week is better for you, then it will be considered, if enough folks show interest. Cookathon food is complimentary at this time, bring your own beverages. Also, due to covid, please bring your own dinnerware, silverware, cups, beach chair and umbrella if you need shade. Chairs and umbrellas are available to rent if you don't bring them, for $10 each for the duration. Please bring cash for any purchases. This is a not-for-profit farm and donations are accepted.   We'll be cooking outside on camp stoves and a Weber, inventing new recipes. The farm will donate fresh artichokes to the Artichoke Cookathon. If you'd like to purchase some to take home, they are only $2 each, fresh off the plant.   Artichokes have the highest antioxidant content of all vegetables. They are also incredibly high in other nutrients, too.  Participants are welcome to bring accompanying food from home and pick farm veggies to prepare and share at the farm with their fave recipes. Additional veggies are available to purchase to take home for half the price of store bought organic produce. Harvesting now: spinach, Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts,  cilantro, arugula, lettuces, beet and beet greens and more. Many seedlings are available for $1 each: broccoli,  Shirley poppy,  arugula, nasturtium, calendula and more. Generous sweet pea and snapdragon bouquets are available for $10+. Bring your vase. Reservations are required, so please contact the farm, introducing yourself. A phone chat will ensue to confirm with directions. Bon Appétit
