Copiana hands out big bunches of kale year-round at our harvests, and people are always asking me how I like to prepare it. There are so many ways to use kale, from throwing it into the air fryer for a chip-like texture to sauteing it as the perfect side dish. But for us, the simple kale salad will always have our heart. This ready-made pantry dish can be whipped up at a moment's notice and is sure to change minds about this leafy green.

Copiana's fresh oregano grows so large that cooking through it seems intimidating. We often find ourselves putting it in everything we can before it goes on the drying rack. Recently, we found an easy way to add it to your butter. We love it on grilled cheese with greenhouse tomatoes, spinach, Copiana basil, and brie. Most Copiana herbs go into butter quite nicely, so feel free to mix and match with whatever herb you brought home with your harvest. Ingredients: 1/2 Cup Butter, Softened 4 TSP Minced Fresh Copiana Oregano 1-1/2 TSP Minced Fresh Copiana Thyme 1/2 TSP Garlic Powder Instructions: In a small bowl, combine the butter, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Beat on medium-low speed until mixture is combined. #esgintegration #mentalwellbeing #copianafarms #wellbuildingstandard #verticalfarming #aeroponicfarming #urbanfarming #hydroponicfarming
