Hello Trevor,
Every season goes faster. It's hard to believe this is the last week of our 15th Summer Season.
Every year seems to get better. We've never had a year with so much fruit as this year. The peaches, blueberries, and blackberries were abundant. And even this week, our farmers continue to deliver new and exciting apple varieties, such as the Ludacrisp, Crunch a Bunch, and Pink Lady.
And on the farms, the drought had little impact on the produce farmers. They can irrigate, watering the plants they want and not the weeds. The impact of the drought was most felt by livestock farmers - dairymen and ranchers in particular - who rely on rain for lush pasture and good yields on their row crops. There is no perfect year in farming. Just different years.
Thank you from myself, the Fresh Fork staff, and all the farmers for your support this season.
For those joining us for the winter, we'll see you next week. For all others, we hope to see you again next summer, or during the holidays with any of our special offerings such as Thanksgiving turkeys or Christmas hams.
Sincerely,
Trevor Clatterbuck

Chicken Pot Pies - Ready to Eat
Large $25
Small $10
We have a limited number of pot pies available again this week. These were very popular last week and sold out quickly.
We ran out of large pie shells before the filling, so we made a few "personal size" small pot pies.
Each pot pie starts with our signature pie crust of whole wheat flour, butter, and lard. We like extra crust, so there is a bottom crust.
Each pot pie is filled with a hearty filling of our pasture raised chicken, green beans, carrots, onion, and celery, all in a dressing made from homemade chicken stock.
Enjoy.

The farm bakery went overboard this week with fall flavors, including:
Double Crust Apple Pie. A hefty apple pie loaded with a mix of apples, lightly spiced, and medium sweet!
Pumpkin Bread. $6 This bread starts with roasting whole pumpkins, scooping out the flesh, and making a delicious quick bread that our neighbors (country distance) can literally smell.

And back in the correct form this week....
A few weeks back we started making the S'Mores cookies. I'm not the best at instructions. I guess I forgot it's been a few years and no one remembered that they were a sandwich cookie.
Long story short, some how everything got mixed together and baked off into a mess. It didn't work...
But this week, we got it right. A graham cracker cookie with chocolate ganache and homemade marshmallow filling.
S'Mores Sandwich Cookies. 4 per pack, $7.50.

New Apple Varieties -
Ludacrisp. A new variety with an awesome name! It's super crunchy, juicy, and sweet with a hint of lemon. This is a spectacular apple and I'm hoping it gains traction.
Evercrisp. The follow up to Honeycrisp - but crunchier and store longer.
Pink Lady. This is a perennial favorite, sweet and tart with a very floral nose to it.
And nearly 20 varieties of apples on our website.
Apple Variety Pack - $9
Try 2 each of 4 unique apples. This week's selection is: ludacrisp, empire, pink lady, and winesap.
Apple Cider - back in stock.

Fresh Greens - Organic from Busy Bee in Baltic OH
Spinach. If you haven't had the leaf spinach yet this month, get it. It's clean, crunchy and full of flavor.
Asian Greens. A mixture of tatsoi, mizuna, and mustards. Tender, slightly spicy, and excellent for salads or garnish.

JOIN US FOR WINTER:
and introducing new winter mini share

Fresh Fork in the winter isn't all kale and turnips; it's a chance for us to show off how we have been planning ahead all year.
Our winter program is a bigger bag, and after Thanksgiving it is every-other-week. The season starts out with cold hardy crops, transitions to more meat and storage crops, and ends with more prepared items. We have fun over the winter with projects like our farm-made quiches, pepperoni rolls, ratatouille, soups and more.
Here are the winter highlights:
- 3 mixed package options - Omnivore, Vegetarian, or Mini
- Carnivore Share -- the meat lovers bundle
- 15 Pick Up Days November through May - Starts Nov 6, first 3 weeks in a row, then every other week until mid May
- Same vacation policy and guarantee. 4 weeks can be put on hold and cancel at anytime.
- Upfront & Weekly Payment Options available
- 13 area pickup locations, Wednesday thru Saturday
For full details on the winter program and samples of past bags, please visit this page: Winter Season Overview.
The New Winter Mini - similar to our summer mini, this is a hybrid of veggies and build your own package. Each week features 4 to 5 vegetables and $325 in credits to use on our online shop for everything from more veggies to eggs, milk, meat, cheese, and more.
We hope to see you out there this winter!
