This week’s share will include:

  • Veggies: Swiss chard, choice of arugula or broccoli raab, cilantro, leeks, salad turnips, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussel’s sprouts, sweet dumpling squash and fingerling potatoes.
  • Add-on shares:
    • Fruit:  Pink Lady apples and red D’Anjou pears
    • Flowers: not mentioned in this week’s update, I believe we have completed all 10 weeks
    • Mushrooms: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
    • Eggs: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
  • For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

  • I saw dumpling squash on tomorrow’s list and my mind first went to stuffing it (Thanksgiving is only two weeks away after all). So I went searching for inspiration for a few stuffing ideas that are far from “traditional” Thanksgiving flavors. Start with some sauteed aromatics (onion, garlic, leek, shallot, etc), add that to a big mixing bowl with your dried bread/stuffing cubes, moisten with a flavorful liquid like broth, and then gently stir in the below ingredients before stuffing and baking off your par-roasted squash until super tender…
    • Blue cheese crumbles, walnuts, dried cranberries
    • Crispy pancetta, rough chopped broccoli rabe leaves, shaved parm
    • Slivered almonds, golden raisins, zaatar
