notes on the box

Potatoes and Squash should be stored out of the fridge. Potatoes store best in a paper bag in a cool, dark place.

Salad turnips are great sliced and eaten raw, or you can boil them along with potatoes to make mashed potatoes or roast them with carrots. Greens are edible, too! For longer storage, remove greens from roots.

Whole milk ricotta and Moonglow, our alpine style cheese. Enough Ricotta to make a nice butternut squash lasagna!

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.

The weather is cooling down and we are seeing some beautiful fall colors coming. All the warm weather crops are wrapping up and we are working on getting storage veggies out of the field. I’m going to repost this info from last week for anyone that may have missed it!

Week 16, September 16, 2021

What’s in the box?

red peppers
leeks (medium and large)
onions (small)
potatoes
cilantro
green beans
salad mix
head lettuce
tomatoes
carrots
radishes
green top golden beets (medium and large)

Notes on the box

Sorry that we had to send the potatoes in plastic bags. We were out of paper ones. They will store best if you move them into a paper bag and store in a cool, dark place.
The greens of the beets are edible and quite yummy! They sautee quickly and are great with scrambled eggs or with the sliced and sauteed beets.

This week I included Aquilla that was aged just 3 months and another wedge that was aged a year so that you can see how the flavor develops over time. I like this cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of tomato.

The farm crew worked the whole weekend so that we could go camping on Madeline Island last weekend. It was very amazing and we are so grateful to them! We realized that we hadn’t left the farm for an overnight trip since last year when we went to the same spot! It was a very good time and we are so grateful to the crew for putting in the extra time!

Next Week.
