Farm News from Jane
What a lovely time we have with the members whom attended the potluck yesterday. The weather was a bit cool but the rain held off and so we all had a good time walking the fields and hearing about what’s new on the farm. There were enough pumpkins for a “take away” which the kids always enjoy. And of course, the food is fabulous!!! I even had the opportunity to enjoy some leftovers for lunch today, hunter’s stew. It was delicious and nutritious; a great treat after a morning of harvest.
We started the day and bit cool and damp but it didn’t take long to shed a few layers. The sun although quite welcome is still hot. But even the dog was enjoying basking in its warmth today, inside and outside. It does seem that it takes forever for the sun to get up high enough to begin the outside work. Of course, that is a fact of working seasonally; enjoying a later start and an earlier finish. Somehow though we can’t seem to get enough done in the shortened work day. We have lost another hour of sunlight over the last month or so. The remaining tomatoes have just about stopped ripening with the cool nights but I guess as its October I shouldn’t be looking for just a few more tomatoes! Some vegetables are just hard to let go.
We certainly have made the transition to an autumn share. It’s like a crucifer festival in the box this week. There is surely no lack of anti-oxidant among the kohlrabi, broccoli, Savoy, and kale. Who said eating nutritiously is difficult? Of course, this family of vegetables has the reputation for strong flavors; nothing that a bit of thoughtful preparation can’t solve! So, check out the recipes for ideas and be creative. The recipes can be just a baseline; be creative and enjoy all the colors and flavors that Mother nature has to offer. It will be clear this evening so watch the eastern sky for the waxing moon. Blessings for the week, Jane

Produce:   Broccoli   Purple Kohlrabi   Rutabaga   Red Russian Kale
Savoy Cabbage   Spanish Onions   Garlic   Carnival Squash  

Fruit Share:       Asian Pears          Empire Apples

Produce tips:
– Carnival squash is a “kissin’ cousin” to the acorn squash. Prepare the same; check out the recipe section.
– Savoy cabbage is a loose head compared to the traditional head. It may work for “wrapping” a filling like stuffed cabbage. It is a more tender leaf and needs less cooking time. Or head in an Eastern direction by using raw cabbage leaves to wrap julienned red pepper and carrots, chopped green onions, cilantro and mint leaves, soaked rice noodles, cold shrimp, and Thai chile sauce.
– Purple kohlrabi is a bit spicier than the green. Enjoy it raw, sautéed, mashed or roasted.
– Rutabaga is in the cruciferous (cabbage) family. It is very versatile and may be eaten raw with a dip, boiled and mashed like potatoes, roasted or added to a stew or soup. I love it with a pork roast and gravy.
– Carnival squash; the cranberries are out in the produce section already. They pair great with winter squash!
