WHAT'S GROWING ON

Fall on the farm brings a replay of cool-loving spring crops like arugula and scallions, with others to come. Toss them in a salad with our crisp lettuce. We also hang on to tomatoes, peppers and eggplant as long as the temps allow. Then there are the season's stars: baked pie pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potatoes. So many uses. You can use pureed butternut as a substitution in any pumpkin recipe, even pie. Roasted potatoes and garlic. The patty pan squash are somewhere in between a summer squash and a winter squash--they have the texture of a yellow squash, but they are storing well. You might want to peel them, as their skins are growing tougher than a couple months ago. I've been sauteeing the patty pan with garlic and serving it alongside everything, but it also mixes in great with stir-fries or scrambled eggs. Enjoy the fresh bounty while it lasts!

CSA RENEWALS AND SIGNUP--STAY TUNED!

CSA renewals and new signups will begin by next week! We so very much appreciate your support of our farm and the direct customer-farmer relationship that we nurture as a community.
