    Small farms across Southern California are still growing and harvesting produce during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they are selling produce boxes directly to customers or through restaurants.

    Good Food host Evan Kleiman gives her recommendations on where to get produce boxes in LA:

    - SÜPRMARKT is a Leimert Park-based, organic grocery service that also accepts EBT.

    If you have concerns about using all the produce in a box, Kleiman recommends immediately cooking leafy greens or other vegetables that take up precious refrigerator real estate. She likes to blanch the vegetables in salted water until they are tender.

    You can also use the contents of your CSA box to try her recipe for Spring Vegetable Sauté.

    “It’s a celebration of spring and the green vegetables that are available in spring,” Kleiman says of the Italian veggie dish.
