Notes on the box.

It’s the last CSA delivery of the season! We hope that you have enjoyed the veggies this year!
The storage cabbage will keep for many weeks in your fridge. You can let it roll around back there until all your fresh veggies are eaten up. We like it in soups and stews, but it’s also good shredded up and used as a fresh side to a spicy curry or with tacos.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Antares, our punchy cow’s milk manchego to open up your sinuses! And a first for me to try….. Shredded Cheese! This is a mix of a few different aged cheese. IShredded cheese doesn’t keep for very long, so use it up quickly! It’s truly next level on roasted Brussels sprouts.

Lemon Garlic Sauteed Cabbage

Roasted Brussels Sprouts - some people might say that there are other ways to prepare Brussels Sprouts. I don’t know that I believe them.

On the Farm.

Wrapping things up! This season has been our second most challenging, but we hope you haven’t experienced too much of that through your CSA shares. We did our very best to make sure boxes were as abundant as possible even though some crops were lost to drought, high temps, and not being able to get everything done.
Next week sees Josh and Magdalen doing field cleanup, finishing harvesting some storage crops, and making sure we are ready for the ground to freeze. It’s been nice not to have to scramble this season, if disconcerting because of the very warm fall. We will continue to milk the cows and make cheese as long as there’s grass to eat and the cows are making milk.
While spending next week cleaning up, we will also be prepping for our Winter home deliveries. We will re-open our online farm stand the second week of November and you will be able to order meat, veggies, cheese, and more for delivery to your home! We will also be attending the Mill City Farmers Market for all of the Winter market dates before the new year.
We’ve had several people asking about signing up for a CSA share for next year. We are so glad to hear that you are with us! We will open sign-ups for the 2022 season in January or February. We will be sure to let you know as soon as they are available!

We are so grateful for the support of our CSA members! You are truly the reason that we are here and we couldn’t do it without you! We hope you are able to keep eating local foods as much as possible through the Winter and that everyone has a good holiday season and stays warm and full in all the ways through the Winter.
