Hug a carrot.
Thursday is International Carrot Day, a worldwide party for our often taken-for-granted, steadfast orange friend. From their start in Afghanistan in 900 A.D., carrots have been full of vitamin C and K, zinc, phosphorous, calcium and of course, beta carrot-ene! Eat a carrot from your farm share--your heart, liver, kidneys, immune system, bones, skin, and eyes will all thank you!

What's a parsnip?
It's the root vegetable friend you never knew you needed, the soup companion and roasting buddy who won't let you down.
It may be a pale, nuttier cousin of the carrot but packs a punch with magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C and is surprisingly high in fiber and protein to keep blood sugar steady. More on parsnips here.
