Fall CSA week 3!


Welcome to week 3 of your Fall CSA!



A spiral graph? a new planet? could it be coral reef?
Is it Romanesco? Yes!
A broccoli and a cauliflower collided giving us flavors of both. 
You can treat this as you do with broccoli or cauliflower. Whether it is in soup,
roasted, steamed or pureed. I know some of you will put it on your table and admire it for awhile but don't forget to enjoy it any way you prepare it.

Mark your calendars.........(drum roll)............

Bacon and hams will be ready next week! Our farm stand will be open next week 
Tuesday, November 20 from 4 until 7pm. This will also be the last day of your Fall CSA share.
Please know that we do have to set a limit on certain pork cuts. There will be a two package limit for our bacon. Also, we had our hams cut smaller compared to last season so be prepared to add ham to your thanksgiving table! Like we say, "we want you to be proud of the food you serve at your table".

Your hams are fully cooked, naturally cured and smoked. You'll need to defrost your ham, depending on the size, it will take at least 24 hours in your fridge. Here is a link to determine how long to heat up your ham for it to reach the desired temperature of 160, enjoy! 
brandied ham, oh my so delicious! can't decide? mustard-maple glazed ham,
orange glazed ham............
