News from the Field
It is such a great time of year when the air is crisp and the leaves are showing off their brilliant colors. At the end of last week the first white snow came to top off the mountain. We don't always get snow during foliage, but when we do it is such a special treat. It reminds me of a Banana Split with the colors peeking out from under the white top. It is quite understandable why people travel from all over to "peep" at the beautiful colors of our Vermont countryside.

Lots of customers have dropped in for their pumpkins. Some wanted pumpkins to carve and decorate while others picked small sweet pumpkins for pies. Because we have a slight pumpkin shortage (again due to our very wet, cold summer), we have purchased a bin full of additional pumpkins for you. There is one for each membership, plus one for every child of every member as we know every child needs their own pumpkin.
Along with pumpkins come winter squashes and we have many varieties for you to try. This week's squash is "Buttercup", an old New England favorite. Buttercups have the classic gray/green circle on the bottom.
We usually roast our potatoes but last night Joe peeled a pan full of mixed colored potatoes. The whites, reds and blues whipped into mashed potatoes of the prettiest lavender! Maybe this week's reds with red flesh, combined with some whites, will give you "potatoes in the pink". Any way you like them, it's fun to be color creative with food.
Please enjoy our fresh organic vegetables!
