What’s in the box?
Notes on the box.
Delicata Squash is a Winter type squash that has an edible skin. It’s
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
Fresh Whole Milk Ricotta - a pint/pound. So pillowy and yummy. You can have it savory with salt and pepper and olive oil, or sweet with honey and berries. It’s best eaten within a week. If you won’t get to eating it soon enough, you can freeze it for later use. It won’t have quite the same texture after you thaw it, but it will be good for cooked dishes. Aged selection this week is Aquilla, our aged jack-style. Great for nachos or stuffed peppers or grilled cheese with tomato soup.
Next week I will send along another square of First Snow Camembert if it’s ripe, otherwise I’ll wait a week and probably send cheese curds

On the Farm.
very little to no rain here for the past 6 weeks, but we did squeak out a couple of short, more meaningful, showers this week. Which, this time of year goes further than in the summer because the sun is less intense and not up as long. Trees are changing mostly due to drought stress, but also because it’s time. 5 more weeks of the main season CSA and we will switch over to our online farm stand for winter sales. If you haven’t checked that out, you should www.turniprock.com; online farm stand. We have seed garlic and canning tomatoes for sale in it now, so if you plant a garden we can get you some big seed stock, and if you are putting up tomatoes the next two weeks will be prime. we can deliver with your box. we have some nice fall greens,brussels and salad turnips coming for the final weeks.
Remember to mark your calendar for the last Sunday Sundae of the season! September 24 from 1-4 at Turnip Rock Farm!
