Here's the veggie list, and below is a message from the Good life Farm, just up the road. They have organic turkeys for sale that are rotated over pasture, and fed ALL ORGANIC FEED. This is somewhat unusual.
At the bottom of the email is information about an upcoming Harvest Dinner at Autumn's Harvest to benefit Healthy Food For All.
This week's veggies:
tomatoes - try an heirloom if you haven't. You will be richly rewarded. They aren't bred for looks so guess what they are bred for.
peppers - these beauties are still rolling out of the greenhouses. I saute them in oil til they are caramelized. Sometime I mix in squash.
cabbage - fresh and crisp
carrots - these did great this summer!
beets - I boil a couple of these and keep them in the fridge - sliced and ready to go on anything.
basil - we make pesto every other week or so. No problem getting the kids to eat that!
hot peppers
head lettuce - looking good with all the rain
squash - I slice these in thin rounds, pile them in a pan of hot olive oil or butter or both and then ply them with salt and pepper, and then saute them until they are super caramelized. Don't stop cooking them too soon, because the more done they are, the better. We literally eat this almost every day.
cukes - they're gone folks! That's what eating seasonally is all about. We won't eat cukes again until next June.
celery - this celery makes a soup. So good!
spinach
bok choi - saute this up and eat as a side
kale
chard
escarole or endive
U-pick:
all unlimited -
tomatillo, basil - its BACK, cilantro/dill, kale, chard, flowers, beans - new patch, edemame, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes, paste (sauce) tomatoes
We are still holding off on the raspberries. They are funny this year. We will let you know about them asap.
This year, get your pasture-raised, organic grain-fed Thanksgiving Turkey at the Good Life Farm Curious about what makes our birds special? Good Life turkeys get organic grain and rotate daily through rich and diverse forage of alfalfa, mixed grass among asparagus and orchard trees. They love the shade and variety in the pasture! Our management means that our turkeys are able to make maximum use of forage through constant access to fresh grazing, and the asparagus and fruit trees benefit from their manure, insect-eating and general weeding activity. This integrated system exemplifies Good Life management. Come see for yourself at our Visit Your Turkey Day - Sunday, Oct. 9, 1-4p. Reserve your Thanksgiving bird today! Price is $4.25/lb. On-Farm Pick-Up in Interlaken, 5 mi. from Trumansburg Group delivery in Ithaca and Geneva- details to follow Contact Melissa Madden, Good Life Farmer (607) 351 3313 melissa@thegoodlifefarm.org www.thegoodlifefarm.org |
