What's in this week's Box
Grown on our farm using organic farming methods:
carrots, kale, zucchini, potatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, squashes and tomatoes.

The white nectarines are from John Tenerelli  Orchards located in Littlerock, Ca...pesticide free.

Use this week's baby bear small pumpkins for holiday decorations or cook them up and make a pumpkin pie.  The seeds are also great roasted .

How about a nice fresh kale salad using the bunch of Tuscano kale in your box this week. First, gently massage the leaves with your hands for a minute to make them a bit more tender. Then cut up the leaves into thin "ribbons" discarding the thicker portion of the stem. Mix in a bowl with some vinaigrette dressing and chopped nuts and fruits and finish with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top..delicious and good for you! Or how about some "kale chips"...wash and separate the leafy part from the stem ( discard the thicker stems ), cut up the leaves into smaller portions, add a little olive oil and seasonings, put on a roasting pan and roast in a hot oven until the leaves are crispy.
