As the cool weather arrives, the summer share comes to an end. Thanks for being a part of it. We hope you've loved the experience. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future seasons. If you are also in the fall share, please note there is a week gap (fall begins October 20). As a current shareholder, you will have the first option to sign up for shares in 2012. Watch for info in late November.
We are still busy with autumn chores. Fields to clean up and seed with cover crops, hoop houses to close up for the winter. I heard there was a frost advisory for Litchfield County tonight. We can't be too far behind.
The farm stand remains open through Thanksgiving. Keep coming by!
In this week's share:
1) half gallon apple cider from Red Jacket Orchards, New York state. Delicious and seasonal.
2) one head cauliflower: grown by Pedersen Farms in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Certified organic.
3) one celeriac: why this vegetable is not more widely utilized is a mystery. We love it! Wonderful flavor--kind of a cross between celery and potato. Great cooked & pureed, added to a soup, roasted. Read more.
4) one bunch baby maroon carrots
5) three red noodle beans: We fell in love with these last year. Cut into sections and lightly saute. Delicious! Be adventurous! Here's a couple recipes.
6) one sweet pepper: either bell-type or corno di toro variety
7) two Honey Crisp apples: grown sustainably by Red Jacket Orchard in Geneva, NY. Not certified organic.
8) farm stand item(s) of your choice totaling approximately $4.00. Options include pea shoots, eggplant, tomatoes, ground cherries, additional honey crisp apples, Arethusa milk, beets, kale microgreens, chinese cabbage, buttercup squash. Delivery customers will receive items that do not require refrigeration so that we do not need to leave in insulated bag since this is last delivery week. Email to make alternative arrangements.
