Each Thursday at Nourish, our dinner menu is created based on what’s in Nash’s Organic Produce farm share box that week. Come and dine with us and gather ideas and inspiration for how you can best use the produce you will receive each Friday from Nash’s…or just come and enjoy a fresh, vibrant dinner. Recipes are always shared.
Following are the recipes we created to highlight Nash’s farm share box distributed on October 4th.
