It's the little things that matter the most...

...just wanted to say "thanks!" to all that came out to our first annual CSA potluck 2 weeks ago.  It was so lovely for the farmers to have the chance to sit and reflect with you.  And let's not forgot about the highlight of the potluck - the amazing food!  The list of items included dishes like Swiss Chard, Egg and Feta Bake; Roasted Broccoli, Radish and Leeks; Dill-icious Potato Salad; Tomatillo Salsa; Grilled Chipotle Chicken Caesar Salad; Eggplant Parm; and Pumpkin Pie, to name a few.  Smiling faces abounded - a special thanks to Joe Perez, one of the farm's workshares, for taking these lovely photos - I am already looking forward to next year's! 

 

For those of you that weren't able to join us, we would still love to hear feedback from you.  The list of survey questions that were posted at the potluck will be hanging in the CSA distribution area for the rest of the season (only 2 pick-ups left!!) for you to add your thoughts as well.  And feel free to contact me at mdellaroman@ttor.org with any other additional thoughts or questions you may have.

 

 

This week you will enjoy lettuce, spinach, choice of herbs, kale, scallions, broccoli, salad turnips and beets.  And as a special bonus, we are having a stock up sale on peppers!  We had our first frost Sunday night but the peppers had already been safely harvested and are being stored in the cooler.  You can buy peppers all week for $1/lb! 

 

Peppers are really easy to preserve – they freeze really well and you don’t have to blanch them.  Just chop into bite-size pieces and put into freezer bags (make sure to get all the air out of the bag).  I throw them into chili and stir-fry all winter.  Or, fry them up with some onions and freeze those – that way you can enjoy a sausage and pepper/onion sandwich for the Red Sox’s  opening day next April before pepper season has even begun J
