Took a drive over to Pennsylvania to visit Tim Stark at his farm Eckerton Hill, well known for the best heirloom tomatoes in these parts. Tim and I discussed the right timing and way to harvest chickweed and I discovered he has an amazingly great “crop” of cardamine hirsuta….which is in our book! Since there are no more tomatoes covering the ground in November, the cardamine is easy to spot and harvest. Tim is going to bring them in to his booth at Union Square Market on November 19 along with a recipe from the book. He thinks his customers will be excited to see something new and tasty…
