Fall CSA Week 2

Welcome to week 2 of your Fall CSA!



Your vegetable harvest this week..........

broccoli
celery
brussel sprouts
cherriette radishes
arugula
fresh parsley
spinach
mustard greens
yellow onions
red cabbage
orange carrots


 Our Farm Market Stand is now indoors! Now with the temps in the low 40s we
decided to move into our cozy indoor spot which is way cool and made out of fallen trees on our farm.
Our white tent looks quite empty but don't let that discourage you! We've got plenty 
of good produce for sale, a good selection of pork cuts, apple cider, honey, pop corn and fresh eggs! Bacon and hams are not ready yet, maybe one more week..............and 
I'm sorry to let you all know that our Italian sausage and breakfast sausage is now sold out.
With the overwhelming response from all of you it looks like we are going to need to raise more hogs for next year. A million thanks to your support, we couldn't do it without you.

our cozy market


The farm in your kitchen recipes.................
Your peppery mustard greens make a great side to any meal, sauteed mustard greens.
If you plan to keep your red cabbage until Thanksgiving be sure to wrap it up in a plastic bag (that's what those are good for!) and put it in your fridge.
 Here is a great recipe once you're ready to use it, braised red cabbage.
Ah glorious spinach! best baked spinach!
Don't think of it as just a garnish! Give parsley a chance and add it to soup, toss with some boiled potatoes, steep it fresh (at least 4 minutes) for tea, add it to your salad. You'll need to either wrap it up in (another) plastic bag and keep it in your fridge or place them in a glass of water. They will keep fresh for about a week but don't wait that long! Easy parsley salad
These radiant round gems scream "slice me into a salad and toss me with citrus!"
Jamie Oliver......one of his many great recipes, roasted carrots and beets with juicy pork chops
We have a good selection of pork shoulder roasts still available. Chris makes the BEST
pulled pork but his recipe is kept a secret. For now let's take a look at another one from
