1. Leeks - Raw leeks do especially well in salads.
2. Potatoes - Keep in the dark. A paper bag will do.
3. Fall Squash - Cut in half, remove seeds. Place the squash halves facing downward in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Heat on high for 5 minutes. Flip over, add butter, microwave another 5 minutes.
4. Roasts & Steaks - From livestock raised in Riehm's own pastured field and grain finished.
