Root Down Farm
Root Down Farm is a family owned farm run by Steve and Erin Blabac located near the heart of Clarence Center. Started in the spring of 2011 to support 50 CSA shares, it has grown to serve 300 members and FreshFix customers! The farm consists of leased land throughout the town of Clarence; some of which is protected by the Western New York Land Conservancy.All of Root Down crops are grown without the use of conventional, synthetic or artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. The farm grows many varieties of vegetables, using a careful rotation of crops to help mitigate pests and disease. The farm also strives to minimize its dependency on natural resources by converting a cultivating tractor to an electric motor and using drip irrigation.
Keep it dry: Excess moisture causes arugula to spoil faster. After washing, spin or pat it dry thoroughly.
Store in a breathable container: Place the leaves in a produce bag or container lined with a dry paper towel. This helps absorb moisture while keeping the greens crisp.
Refrigerate promptly: Store arugula in the crisper drawer at around 35–40°F.
Use within 3–5 days: For best flavor and texture, enjoy your arugula soon after it arrives in your FreshFix box.
If your arugula starts to wilt slightly, don’t toss it! You can revive it by soaking the leaves in cold water for 5–10 minutes, or use it in a cooked dish where a little softness doesn’t matter—like a pasta toss or warm grain bowl.
