The End is Near




No, I'm not a doomsday prepper...but I know that this was one of our last distributions for the 2014 farmthisway CSA season. Week 22 of 24.  With yet another GIANT distribution, filled with cabbages, two different squashes, apples, grapes, eggs and more (including some Fall decorations!), we are prepping not for doomsday, but for Winter.  When our beautiful fresh vegetable distribution will not be showing up every Wednesday.  So a lot of this is heading to the freezer or into canning jars to make sure we have yummy stuff to eat when the snow flies as well.

I've already got soup bases and sauces prepped and frozen.  Along with many canned and frozen veggies.  I think early next week, I will take on making and freezing some cabbage rolls with the remaining cabbage that I have, and prepping the rest of my acorn squash for the freezer, which I will then use (amongst other things) for a Thanksgiving side dish.

EGG SHARES ARE HERE!!!
