Welcome to our Fall CSA
It is a beautiful fall day here at the farm and we are so thankful for the warmth of the sun along with the cool breeze. The leaves are starting to change and we are looking forward to what this season will bring!
We are so thankful for you as our members and there is still time to tell your friends and neighbors so they can do an 8 week share with us. Have anyone who is interested call or email the farm.
Blessings to you

Recipes of the week!
Potato Salad With Bacon and Parsley
Ingredients
Directions
- Place the potatoes in a pot with water to cover and 1 teaspoon salt and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool. Cut into quarters.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Crumble when cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss with the potatoes, bacon, and parsley.
Acorn Squash with Apple
1 acorn squash
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brownsugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1 inch chunks.
- Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples. Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
- Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power, until tender. Serve hot.
Pasta with Greens
Ingredients
- 1/2 bunch rapini (broccoli raab)
- 1/2 bunch Swiss chard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2-3 scallions sliced thinly
- 3 ounces pancetta, sliced thinly
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 pinch salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 pound gemelli pasta
- 1 package soft cheese of choice, cubed
- 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Directions
- Trim the flower ends off the rapini, leaving 5 cm (2 in) of stem. Set aside. Cut the remaining stems into 2.5 cm (1 in) pieces. Set aside.
- Cut the chard into 2.5 cm (1 in) slices. Reserve the leafy part with the rapini flowers and the stems with the rapini stems.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic. When the garlic is browned, remove it and discard.
- Add the leeks and pancetta to the garlic-flavoured oil and cook until the leek is softened and the pancetta is lightly browned. Add the vegetable stems, the stock and the salt and pepper. Cover and cook 4 minutes. Add the chard leaves and rapini flowers and cook, covered, another 2 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, return it to the pot and add the vegetable mixture. Toss gently and add the cheese at the last minute.
- Transfer to a serving dish and top with the pine nuts.
