This Week's Offerings/Goodies to those who helped keep this farm going for 2009!

I invite all of you whose shares had ended before this week to still come by and help yourself to one of each winter squash variety and a paper bag of no spray walnuts!

With the early frost that hit us a bit over a week ago, the remaining items I have in the share area are as follows;

I will have a piece of paper at the share area to write your name on to let me know you came and picked up these goodies!

Winter squash: Delicata, acorn, butternut, sweet dumpling and yes more crookneck! See previous post as to what winter squash is and how to cook it in case you have been putting it off til now.
Remember, this type of vitamin packed veggie can wait to be cooked if you keep it in a cool dry place. Some people will use them as holiday dec's for November and then eat them through the winter.
My favorite thing to do with any of them is this:
Clean surface
Poke holes like you would to bake a potato
Bake at 350-375 degrees til outside feels soft and mushy
Then peel and/or cut in to slices, place sections in zip lock bag or a reusable freezer container.
I then take out what I need for recipes or servings as the winter sets in

Walnuts-these are no spray! Directions on previous post

Random tomatoes and bell peppers that escaped the frost.

Feel free to come by and take the amounts that are stated on the daily share board for those who usually pick up at the 72nd farm and are scheduled to end this week.
