Notes on the box
First of the winter squash coming to you! Store it out of the fridge. Should keep for a month. The skin of the delicata squash is thin and can be eaten after cooking. You can stuff these squash, but our favorite way to cook them is to cut in half, remove seeds, and cut into half moons and roast them. They can be spiced in so many different ways. They are a favorite around here.
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
Antares, our cows’ milk manchego style cheese and feta! Both cheeses that are traditionally made from sheep milk. We hope you enjoy these cows milk versions!
