  • Add-on shares:
    • Fruit: jonagold apples and d’anjou pears
    • Flowers: finished for the season

Serving suggestion:

  • If you’re interested in helping the farm offset some year-end expenses, please consider signing up for the stock up share. The stock up share includes root vegetables, squash, greens and other hardy crops that are harvested late or store well. I’ve received the stock up share twice, splitting it with friends each time. Last year, I challenged myself to make all of my Thanksgiving sides using CSA and stock up share produce. Here are the sides that were on my menu last year, all showcasing Circle Brook veggies…
    • Stuffing (using carrot and onion)
    • Mashed potatoes
    • Glazed sweet potatoes
    • Roasted brussels sprouts
    • Braised greens (with smoked pork neck bones when I can find them, otherwise chorizo)
