Hi everyone, we have a beautiful share for you. We are so grateful for your membership in our CSA this year, and that you ARE making a difference in our food system, while eating delicous local food!
You will be getting an heirloom pumpkin this week which is quite dense and heavy, so be prepared to carry that. Bring a friend or a cart if you are walking. Mark says he will be ready for you from 4:30-7pm. Let us know if you have any quesions, concerns or last minute changes. We have pre-bagged your produce shares for a quick grab and go this week.
Warmly,
Suzi

- Heirlooom Porcelain Doll Pumpkin – Swapped for spaghetti squash. This is a beautiful pumpkin, and wonderful to cook with. Please use care cutting it. I use a grapefruit spoon to scoop out the insides, its serrated edge makes it easy to get all those strings. Make sure to save and roast the seeds! My suggestion is to make pumpkin puree, reserve what you think you will need for your pumpkiny things this week, and freeze the rest in 1 or 2 cup bags. Here’s an easy puree recipe.
