~~Your
items that you do
not
need to keep in your fridge this week are: red
onions, garlic,
and delicata
squash~~
NEXT
WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK OF CSA.
WEEK 20&21 IS A DOUBLE
VALUE BOX.
After
much thought and discussion Jay and I have decided to try something
new (to
us) this
year and do a double value box for the last week of CSA. We know how
much you all love storage crops including the garlic, onions,
shallots, and winter squash. We have enough of these this year to
save you all a trip of picking up your CSA box the last two weeks and
combine the last two boxes into one!

After it being so warm for so long we are
really looking forward to turning on the oven and doing some baking
this week. One of our absolute favorite fall foods is delicata
squash dipped in homemade garlic mayo.
Roasted
Delicata Chips With Spicy Mayo
Cut your delicata squash in half lengthwise,
scoop the goop, and cut into 3/8 inch ‘half moons’ and bake at
350 until crispy (depends how thick you cut them and how much
moisture is in the squash) about 25-35 minutes. When lightly brown
and crispy, remove from oven.
Garlic Mayo- we love making mayo but if you
don’t have time to make homemade mayo you can use your favorite
mayo brand and add garlic to it by; mincing garlic in a blender or
food processor, add a bit of lemon juice and one cup mayo. Want an
extra spicy kick? Add some Sriracha sauce or Tobasco sauce.
Delicata chips dipped in garlic mayo is just about the best thing
ever.
I’m looking forward to having arugula and
cucumbers this week but I’m also looking forward to roasting some
beets and making an eggplant casserole with a healthy amount of
cheese.
We’ll also be making some pesto to eat with
all our roasted vegetables this week.
We are so surprised that the basil, eggplant,
cucs, and zucs are still producing prolifically enough to feed 100
families this week! Wow! What a summer it has been.
If you want any extra storage veggies next week
just let us know!

Garlic-other than the garlic going in CSA we are not selling
any garlic this year. This is the most beautiful garlic we have ever
seen and we are keeping it to plant and have much more garlic next
year (each clove gets planted and becomes a head for next year).
Winter Squash-if storing in a garage or basement put a piece
of cardboard on concrete. Store in a place that doesn’t freeze.
Freezing will ruin your squash. An attached garage or cool basement
is usually a great storage space.
Acorn Squash-unfortunately we will not have enough for
sales this year. BUT! We will have acorn squash in the shares for
week 20/21. (Apparently voles really like to eat acorn squash)
Buttercup-$1.49/# stores up to 3 months. This has become our
