This has been an exciting week, as sweet potatoes and winter squash are making their way from the fields to a comfortable place to cure for the next couple of weeks. During the curing process, the vegetables sugar production ramps up, so they get sweeter and yummier. We are also thrilled about our freshly harvested ginger and turmeric. We're throwing in a little ginger into our veggie boxes this week, but know it can also be purchased as an add-on to your CSA share. Nothing says winter is coming like these nutritious tubers!
And of course, October brings fresh chestnuts. Our crew is harvesting about 100 lbs per day, so they are really accumulating. We've found a few simple and delicious ways to roast them, and with your order we will throw in a little instructions card with cook tips.
We've officially filled our beef shelves with product that was bred, born and raised on our farm. We are proud and excited to share that meat with you this month. We'll continue cleaning out the freezer, as fall and winter is when we process all of our meat that will feed both our upcoming Winter & Summer CSAs. So much goodness coming your way - we love sharing the bounty with you!
What's in the box:
*The harvest list is always tentative. The garden decides what's in the box.
