CSA Week #21
The weather shifted this afternoon and it finally feels a lot more like fall. Our fields are brimming with fall greens, root veggies and specialty crops like this week's fennel and pointed cabbage. There's nothing better than fall cooking - soups, roasts and stews to warm your kitchens, bodies and hearts. Bon appetit!
