use this guide to help preserve the texture, color, flavor, and sweetness of your From the Farmer basket.

eating in order of perishability is a clever trick: berries go the fastest, then soft-skinned fruits like tomatoes and cucumbers,lastly roots and spuds will last the longest.
refrigerated, almost all produce will keep longer.
Storage 101: quick tipS
fresh produce is great because it’s fresh! let it sit around, and it won’t be as wonderful. eat up!
properly stored, heartier produce will last longer. think less juicy (water content) more firm (fiber).
cut off bruises and wrap up any exposed edges. bruises let air in and cause rotting!
get rid of rotting or moldy items, stat! prevent mold contaminating the rest of the bunch.
a tricky thing.

mushrooms should be stored unwashed in a paper bag with a dry paper towel to absorb extra moisture. They like it cool and airy, so skip the drawer and store on the first or second shelf in the fridge.

berry special treatment Pay extra attention to scouting out discarding any duds or mold.wash all the keepers in a diluted vinegar bath (1:3 water to vinegar). Air dry completely. Store in a container lined with paper towels.leave the lid open a little to allow moisture to escape.

our bread is preservative-free.
in time it will get dry, perhaps even moldy, if a) not properly stored.b) eaten.
decide how much of the loaf you will consume in 7 days. slice and freeze the rest. heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic bags will both do for freezing. wrap the sliced edge of the remaining loaf in foil. this will help minimize drying.then store the whole loaf in a paper bag. keep at room temperature ~68ºF, away from direct sunlight, in a cool and dry spot. do not refrigerate or store on top of your refrigerator.
this is good! a sign of fresh, natural ingredients!
