Farm staff will be harvesting a healthy crop of salsify this weekend. A popular root vegetable in Victorian times, salsify is often called “oyster plant,” with its delicate, slight, and savory flavor reminiscent of oysters. It’s incredibly versatile, great for roasting, mashing, or adding to soups and stews.
Stop by the Longstreet Farm Visitor Center this weekend to get a firsthand look at this unique vegetable!
