Notes on the box.

Delicata squash! One of our faves around here. Store outside of the fridge. The skins of delicata are edible. Its great cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, then cut into cresent moon shapes, toss with olive oil and spices of your choice, and roast in the oven till carmelized and tender. You can then add to a salad, drizzle with pesto or chimichurri.
You have what you need for a good Mirepoix aka the Holy Trinity in Louisiana (where Rama grew up) cooking. A great flavor base to begin a gumbo, ettouffee, or jambalaya!

Nice helping of tomatoes. Time for fresh salsa, tomato soup, or sauce.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Share.

This week we have all you need for a lovely pasta dish. Some fresh whole milk ricotta and a grana style cheese for grating on top of your favorite pasta (or on your favorite roasted veggies)! I love ricotta on toast with a drizzle of good olive oil and some salt and pepper. It’s also good with honey and nuts.

Roasted Delicata Squash with Cilantro Chimichurri

Veggie Jambalaya - with this recipe, I think doubling the celery and tomato would be a good bet! And adding some andouille sausage if you have some!

Tomato Ricotta Tart

On the Farm.

Big big big thanks to the farm crew for covering all the daily chores and watching over the farm so we could take our trip to Madeleine Island! We realized we hadn’t left the farm for an overnight since the organic farming conference in February. Hadn’t even gotten our park pass this year! It was a much needed break. I think I responded to anyone who might have had any delivery issues last week, but if I missed you, please reach out again.

The nights are getting chilly over here! We are pulling in the winter squash and planting spinach and heart greens in the hoop houses. Applying for Winter farmers market dates…. Still lots of good veggies coming though!
