1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):
Peaches or nectarines - Store on a cool counter to room temperature or in the fridge if ripe. Eat as soon as they are ripe!
Apricots - These delicious little cuties are from our friend Bill Crepps at Everything Under the Sun in Winters. His fruit is no longer certified organic because of the paperwork load and expense. These make a great afternoon snack! Store them at room temperature and eat 'em as soon as they're ripe.
Summer Squash - Does fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut. Wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for longer storage. Do not wash until ready to eat. Lasts 4-5 days.
Spinach or Fava Beans - Spinach: Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold. Fava Beans - Store favas in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. They'll last about a week.
Chard or Dino Kale - Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Do not wash until ready to use.
Basil - Trim the ends and place basil in a glass containing about 1 inch of water; then cover with a loose-fitting plastic bag and leave at room temp. Replace the water whenever it gets cloudy. Should keep for about a week.
Parsley - Place in a glass with an inch of water in the fridge. Change water often. Can also be stored in a closed container in the fridge. Lasts up to one week.
Green Beans (From Terra Firma) - Green Beans like humidity but not wetness. Store with a damp cloth draped over an open container or a lid placed loosely on the container. Use within a week.
Onions - Store in your crisper. Best used within a week but may last a little longer.
Potatoes - Store potatoes in a cool, well ventilated place. Don't wash the potatoes before storing as dampness promotes early spoilage.
Garlic - Use fresh or dry for long term use. This can be stored in a dry, cool area.
