Market Menu for October 25, 2014

Candy carrots with great flavor and sweetness. We have had several hard frosts and that is just what the doctor ordered to turn normally sweet carrots into something magical. We will have a few bags of juicing carrots each week during the late fall and winter.

The watermelon have been late this year so we still have lots left.  We have 6 different varieties.


We will have 10 large 50 + pound pumpkins and a bunch of smaller pumpkins at market this week. They are gorgeous with heavy duty handles. If you are decorating your porch these would make a great center piece.

The squash varieties available this week:  Acorn, Butternut, Buttercup, Carnival, Delicatta, Confetti, Spagetti, Orange Hubbard, Kubotcha, Honey Nut and Pie Pumpkins. We have about a hundred pie pumpkins left, but they are going fast.

The fall greens are wonderful. We are picking from new beds of spinach, arugula,  Kale, Red Russian Kale, Dinosaur Kale and lettuce. A new bed of cilantro too.

Wonderful Garlic Crop This Year

Reed took this picture of garlic a few weeks ago, and it's one of the best tasting crops we've had! I guess those minerals in the compost bring out the exceptional flavor and quality. The heads are nice and big, with cloves about the size of your thumb. As always, organic and fresh. Reed planted the garlic for next year during MEA break. If you haven't planted your's yet there is still time.
