It’s overcast and damp and not a great week for outdoor fun. But it is a perfect week to preserve fresh food to enjoy during the winter months. This week we’ve got several batches of sauerkraut bubbling away! Sauerkraut is by far one of the easiest foods to preserve. Chop up cabbage, mix with salt and pack it into jars. The miracle of Mother Nature (and her natural lactobacillus cultures) turn cabbage into sauerkraut! Store it in the fridge and enjoy all winter on sandwiches, salads or straight from the jar. Not only is it tasty, it’s also packed full of gut healthy bacteria to help ward of illness! Pictured below is a “fiesta” kraut with cilantro, red bell peppers, garlic and scallions.
The full weekly line-up includes: Lettuce mix, arugula, kale (green curly, red curly, tuscan), collards, head lettuce (red leaf, green leaf), scallions, red beets, carrots, hakurei turnips, green cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli, yellow onions, red potatoes, gold potatoes, slicing tomatoes, cocktail tomatoes, eggplant, cilantro, parsley, dill, poblanos, jalapeños, bell peppers and sweet Italian frying peppers (red and yellow), butternut squash, apples, pears.

It's Dahlia madness at Holy Cow Farm! The fields are brimming with dahlia blooms in all sorts of shapes and colors, and they'll be featured heavily in this week's bouquets. Dahlias come in such a wide color variety, so there's something for everyone. Whether you like bright and bold, or elegant and subdued, you'll find a dahlia that fits the bill! In other good news, the extended forecast shows no chance of frost, which means Holy Cow will be harvesting flowers for at least another couple weeks! Hurray for a flower-filled fall! |

Haven Farmstead Table
Cultured organic butter is back! Haven Farmstead doesn't often get cream for butter, so get it while they have it!
Also, be sure to try Steve's newest batch of Rusted Route. This brine-washed, soft-ripened cheese is pleasantly stinky with notes of smoked meat & butter. It melts in your mouth like butter too!

Breakaway Farms
Special K's Harvest Brats
Last week Breakaway Farms journeyed to Germany with their OktoberFest Bratwurst and this week they’re bringing it back home. This is a sausage made upon request for a very special person to Farmer Nate and Team Breakaway. For inspiration we need to be fully enveloped in the season. Think cool, autumn weather and colorful leaves, football games and pumpkin patches. This sausage is double ground for a finer texture in the style of an American bratwurst and it is seasoned with fall spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice & cloves. It’s only slightly sweetened with brown sugar and can be served equally well at both breakfast and dinner. If “pumpkin spice” had a cousin, this would be it. Let the smells of the season bring joy to you and your loved ones as you gather at the table with some of Special K’s Harvest Brats.

Raspberry Ridge Sheep Creamery
Stop by and see Rob for your favorite healthy sheep milk cheese and yogurt. Did you know that sheep milk has A2 proteins, is high in Omega 3, and is easier to digest than cow milk. Raspberry Ridge sheep enjoy life on the pasture where they enjoy nutritional fresh grass diet.
Rob is bringing hard cheeses, sharp cheese, spreadable and grillable Haloumi cheeses this week. And yogurt and smoothies too!
