CSA Weekly Report: Lancaster Farm Fresh

CSA share of the week

In yesterday’s Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA share, Autumn snuck in!  That’s right, the first of the Winter Squash!  Having been under a deluge of peppers and tomatoes for the last few weeks (this week included), it’s sort of a relief to be seeing some new vegetables.

The full share list:

    3 red bell peppers grown by Meadow Valley Organics
    3 Cubanella Peppers grown by Green Valley Organics
    1 bunch radishes grown by Elm Tree Organics
    4 slicing tomatoes grown by Scarecrow Hill Farm
    2 heirloom tomatoes grown by Riverview Organics
    8 Roma tomatoes grown by Countryside Organics
    6 ears sweet corn grown by Green Acres Organics
    2 delicata squash grown by Green Valley Organics
    1 blue Hubbard squash grown by Farmdale Organics
    1 bag hot Hungarian peppers grown by Farmdale Organics

All those tomatoes and peppers, combined with the large quantity of tomatoes I’ve been pulling out of the garden, guarantee another go-round with the pressure canner.  More sauce?  Sofrito?  Hmmm.

It all comes back to the squash, though.  Since finding out that they were coming my way, I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to use them.  Ideas?  Suggestions?
