Peter and Anneke,

I hope all is well at the farm. We were thinking of you last night with all the wind and flooding going on.

I have a tip for your newsletter on how to keep cilantro or parsley fresh:

1. Cut 1/2" off the stems off the cilantro/parsley
2. Fill a glass jar with drinking water (small canning jar works great)
3. Stick the unwashed cilantro/parsley in the water, like you would a bouquet of flowers
4. Cover with a plastic bag and put in the fridge (somewhere where you won't spill it, like the door)
5. It should keep fresh for a week or possibly more. After a few days, change the water and remove any bad stems.
