This year, that last distribution will arrive on November 16th. Marty and Carolyn, our beloved farmers, are hosting an end of the year gathering so that all of the members can get to know one another, and enjoy a meal together. Everyone will bring a dish to pass, and there will even be live entertainment, in the form of a folk musician. The Fall setting in the barn seems a perfect way to end the season.
This week we had our decorations distribution, but that's not all. Besides a hay bale, corn stalks, Indian corn, pumpkins, and another beautiful mum, we also got an 8 qt basket of tomatoes, some squash (acorn and butternut) cabbage, and our farm fresh eggs.
I look forward to some Butternut Squash Soup but also would like to attempt to make some more Butternut Squash Ravioli. The last time I made the ravioli, they came out OK, good even, but I know I can do better, particularly in my pasta quality.
As for the cabbage, that is bound for sauerkraut to have with my New Year's pork dinner. Something my family always has on New Year's day is pork and sauerkraut. I am not sure why, but I usually stick to that menu. I used Alton Brown's Sauerkraut Recipe last year, and it worked great. Very easy, not a lot of attention needed, and it was tasty.
Well, I am signing off for the season..sort of. I may pop up over the winter with some new squash recipes just for fun, or when I pull some canned or frozen veggies from my CSA distributions out to use. Year 2 of our membership with farmthisway CSA has again been fantastic and we look forward to seeing Marty and Carolyn continue to grow the membership! If you are looking for a way to get your veggies and more from people you know, go out and meet Marty and Carolyn at the farm. It's a great program and we will be back again next year!
