Jr. Farmer Grown-- Salsa Verde Echilladas



Homemade Enchillada Sauce:





Heirloom tomatillos are one of my favorite varieties of types of plants that are highly productive with the tomatillo fruits and the seed for the following year.

We love to make salsa verde with all of our buckets of tomatillos that we harvest.
