- This is our first year growing okra and we’ve been enjoying it both on the farm and in the kitchen! Granted, the plants are now 7+ feet tall, Mike has to bend them over in order to harvest, and I have no idea how we’re going to mow them down when the season ends, but they’ve been producing like crazy for months now and their flowers are nothing if not stupendous. I had never used okra much before, but have come to cook with it regularly over the course of this summer. Our friends and members of our CSA first put us on to using okra in Indian-style recipes and these have become my go-to. I’m going to include links to a few of these recipes below and urge everyone to give okra a try in the coming weeks!
See below for our full harvest list. The online store will be open Thursday from noon until midnight!

September 15, 2020I will totally check out the okra recipes. Thanks The plants sound amazing. Can’t believe they get
so tall and have flowers! I haven’t eaten it for a very long time. I just remember it was gelatinous
& not very good. Glad I’ll get a second chance.

September 15, 2020So great to learn more about okra. Dan’s southern family has introduced me to it, but I’ve not found ways to cook it. Looking forward to these. The Masala sounds delicious!
