 Root Vegetables With fall arriving we are in the season of fresh from the field root vegetables. They are delicious oven roasted, in stews and soups, boiled and mashed. If you haven't, you might try them sauteed. They keep their crisp texture and can be enhanced with a simple glaze. See our recipe of the week featuring carrots and celery.
The favorite farmers market survey is finished and we ended just about where we started. We ranked 197th Nationwide, 48th in the Northeast and 4th in Connecticut. Thank you to those of you who voted. We are shooting for at least 3rd in CT next year. We will be a small, but hardy, group of vendors this week with several of our vendors having commitments to one fair or another. This is true every fall, but it doesn't usually happen on the same day for them. Of note: - Deeply Rooted Farm is finished for the season. The weather has taken its toll on the strawberries. - Ideal Seafood is NOT with us this week, with their every other week participation - Lakeside Farm is NOT with us this week, but back for the season next market. - An Average Jill joins us with her every other week participation - Mockingbird Kitchen and Bar is hoping to come to market IF they can manage staffing. - Guest musician - Jerry Buchas Honey Glazed Carrots and Celery is our recipe this week.

SUSTAINABLE TIP OF THE WEEK Fall Cleanup Advice – Be Good to the Environment We have not dug into this point of view from gardenmyths.com, but found it an interesting alternative point of view and source of information. So we thought we would share. Cleaning up the garden in fall is a tradition as we get ready for winter. Rake the leaves, cut back perennials, cut the grass short – there is lots to do in the fall.
