Luke of Finger Pickin' Farms loaded up our CSA box with all kinds of good things this week.
Starting at 12 o'clock and continuing clockwise we have: broccoli, spaghetti squash, a type of acorn squash, arugula, Long Island Cheese pumpkin (I love that name!), mustard greens, sweet potatoes, lettuces, butternut squash, and turnips.
I used to like salad, but I never loved salad until we started getting lettuce through our CSA.
It's so crisp and fresh, and I love those gorgeous curly leaves.
The mustard greens are beautiful! The fronts of the leaves are deep purple and the backs are green.
I picked up some eggs and apples from Misty Meadows Farm. Don't they look pretty together?

Our farmers' market festival was this week, and of course I forgot my camera. Mom and I couldn't stay long, but we managed to sip some sweet apple cider fresh out of an antique cider press and listen to some live music. Also, we sampled a delicious dish of orzo, shiitake mushrooms, beets, cilantro, granola, and olive oil. It sounds like the strangest combination, but all the flavors played so well together. I saw quite a few people go back for seconds (and I might have been one of them).
I hope you're eating lots of fresh fall food this week!
what beautiful and fresh looking produce!!! You are so fortunate to be able to get this!
