Recipe of the Week


This recipe will help sweeten the pallet for the younger kids who are not quite used to the stronger flavor of Brussels sprouts.

When storing your fresh Brussels sprouts they will stay freshest the longest wrapped in a plastic bag in the coldest part of your frig. When you take them out do not fret about the black spots on the outer leaves, just peel several leaves off (Not too many) and you are good to go. They are a welcomed cold crop we have been anticipating since they left us last year. Such a short season for such a great vegetable.

Happy Halloween!

Here is a website foodandwaterwatch.org that will scare you to see what Monsanto is doing. They are trying to taint everything that is made of corn. They are trying to use GE (genetically engineered) corn.

Food & Water watch is a nonprofit consumer organization that works to ensure clean water and safe food. They challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources by empowering people to take action and by transforming the public consciousness about what we eat and drink. Speak up and vote NO! It’s free!

News from the Field

Our gourmet fingerling potatoes this week are delightful when roasted with a little olive oil, garlic salt, rosemary and thyme.

There are only 2 WEEKS remaining for CSA, this Season! Order your Thanksgiving Basket and sign up for our Winter Share. Applications are at the farm stand.

Have a great week!
