Farm Happenings for September 7, 2021

Posted on September 6th, 2021 by CSA Manager

We've been blessed with another beautiful week of great weather and bountiful harvests! Gala apples are in and tomatoes and potatoes are staying steady as well. Instead of dropping potatoes from your shares, store them in a cool dark place and continue to increase your supply so you're prepared for lots of warm potato dishes and stews as the weather continues to cool off. Likewise with tomatoes, you can blanch, peel and cook them into sauce that can be canned or frozen, or you can dry them in your oven or dehydrator and store them in oil in your fridge to enjoy that delicious homegrown tomato flavor all winter long! Here is recipe for Dried Tomatoes that works for any variety of tomato you might receive in your share.

Check out these recipes for some fall-weather inspired ideas on how to use this weeks main staples:

  Don't forget to grab some Great Country Farms Cider Donuts, Kettle Corn, Apple Cider or Honey! We also have some products from your favorite local artisans such as, Village Cheese Works, Harvue Cheese, and Audley Beef! Remember, good food goes bad quickly in this weather, so east up!
