Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted on October 2nd, 2021 by Heather Coffey

Wow it's been a great year for a number of harvests, and we have a wonderful lineup of veggies to choose from for your Thanksgiving feasts! It's time to get planning with our impressive selection, ordering closes Sunday night as always (technically 11:55pm). We've got your sweet potatoes and squashes, Brussles sprouts and napa cabbages, fresh spinach and bok choy. There's still some summer treats coming in like tomatillos, shishito peppers, eggplant and okra. This year we have three potato varieties: Arizona a yellow flesh waxy potato that holds it's shape well, Sangré a red flesh floury potato great for soups, and classic French Fingerlings that are delicious roasted. We have small and large pie pumpkins - we love roasting up a bunch and tucking the purée into the freezer for winter pies, just pre-measure however much your favourite pumpkin recipes use! We have leeks, onions yellow and red as well as shallots on offer and some scallions too if you prefer their fresh green in dishes. There's nice big butternut squashes and tiny sweet Honeynuts perfect for two. What can we bring you this week?
