Finally! YAY!
This week we got:
This year, for the first time, World Peas is offering a small share which is what we signed up for. This filled up the small (1/2 bushel) box pretty well, so I am interested to see what our yield is as the season progresses. Continue reading
…Until my CSA starts. I can’t wait!
I love the WorldPEAS CSA and if you are in the Merrimack Valley or Boston area, I encourage you to check it out. 18 weeks of delicious produce, some of it ethnic and unique to WorldPEAS.
WorldPEAS’s parent organization, the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project assists people with limited resources, many of them immigrants and some of them urban teens, with beginning to farm in Massachusetts. NESFP provides training, support and a market (the CSA and Lowell Farmer’s Market) to the new farmers, creating local, sustainable economic development.
Plus, they’ve introduced me to such delights as ground cherries, pigweed, spey cabbage, thai eggplant, and sweet potato greens!
I love this recipe. It’s easy and makes a deep, dark and rich apple butter. I was wondering what to do with the many, many, many CSA apples in the fridge when I stumbled across Lolly’s Food for Fall post – apple butter it would be! Continue reading
I love potato leek soup – it combines all of the comfort and warmth of potatoes and soup, and what you’re left with is a big mug of win. It’s also a super-easy and quick weeknight meal, perfect for those cold fall and winter days when you just want to come home and curl up with your Snuggie and a good book… Continue reading
The last week, how sad. I didn’t take one of my famous “veggies on the counter” pictures this week because by the time that I got home from the cold farm and brought everything upstairs, it was all I could do to put everything away!
Fall has done its number on the farm – the leaves were in full color, the fields were mostly bare, the darkness came early, and as I mentioned before, it was COLD! Continue reading
I love October and this year is no exception! What do I love about October? Well, in addition to the glorious foliage and crisp weather, October means the annual Columbus Day trip to Mount Desert Island!
Hmmmmm, how did October get here so quickly? It seems like just yesterday that it was August…
September was a very busy and exciting month, full of changes and adjusting to those changes. The new job has been a whirlwind and a lot of fun – September is a very busy time at my organization so I literally hit the ground running.
It’s also been a month of changes at the farm, things are entering their last harvest and the fields look much different than they did in high summer. Week thirteen, September 8th, was still pretty summery, but I could feel fall creeping up…
I am really interested in this new initiative by the USDA. They hope to “…focus that conversation on supporting local and regional food systems to strengthen American agriculture by promoting sustainable agricultural practices and spurring economic opportunity in rural communities.”
Tonight’s supper is brought to you by my CSA and the late summer corn and tomato harvest. Continue reading
Week twelve already, where did the time go? In this week’s share: Continue reading
