CSA Weekly Report: Red Earth Farm (last for 2007)

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

Last share of the season! Here’s what we got:

Double order of sweet potatoes (stockpiling for Thanksgiving)
Lacinato kale
Cauliflower
Parsnips
Turnips (roasting parsnips and turnips are good this time of year)

The butternut squash is from last week’s Winter Harvest order. My guy loved the butternut squash risotto that I had made last week, so I’ll probably be making it again this week.

This is my 2nd year having a Red Earth Farm share, and I plan on resubscribing next year. They have consistently good produce, well handled, with lots of variety. That I can choose my share from week to week is a nice bonus as well. They have been getting better and better with knowing what crops work-- this year had fewer substitutions than the last. My only complaint this time around is that the site hosts have not been easy to work with-- but I think that’s a very minor point, as the communications with the farmers themselves have been wonderful. I look forward to being a Red Earth Farm member next year!
